What Are Tooth Extractions?
Sometimes, removing a tooth is the healthiest option for your smile. Tooth extractions involve carefully pulling a tooth from its socket when it's too damaged or poses risks to surrounding teeth and gums. Dr. Monika Kaceli and her dedicated team at Kaceli Dental Aesthetics perform this procedure to address severe decay, advanced gum disease, overcrowding, or even in preparation for orthodontic treatment. In certain cases, tooth extraction surgery is necessary when teeth are impacted or broken below the gumline. Our team provides compassionate care to ensure your comfort during the process. Contact our team in Newton Centre, MA to schedule a consultation to determine if an extraction is the right choice for your oral health.
What Should I Expect from A Tooth Extraction?
After reviewing your oral health, Dr. Kaceli will numb the area to minimize discomfort. Depending on the condition of the tooth, our team may perform a simple extraction, which involves the removal of a visible tooth using forceps without the need for surgery. For more complex cases, a surgical extraction may be recommended, which includes a small incision to safely remove the tooth. The procedure itself is quick, but following tooth extraction aftercare promotes a smooth recovery. After the extraction, the gums usually heal within 1 – 2 weeks. Eating soft foods, such as yogurt, mashed potatoes, or applesauce, can keep you comfortable during this time. Avoid anything hard, crunchy, or spicy as you heal. To protect the site, avoid certain activities, like smoking, using straws, or engaging in strenuous exercise. These are some of the most important things to avoid after tooth extraction to prevent complications, like dry socket, and aid the healing process.
What Are Some of the Benefits of Tooth Extractions?
Removing a tooth may sound like a big step, but it can protect your long-term dental health. The benefits of tooth extractions at Kaceli Dental Aesthetics in Newton Centre, MA extend far beyond addressing immediate pain or discomfort. Advantages include:
- Stops the spread of infection when a tooth is decayed or damaged
- Prepares for better oral health by allowing for orthodontic treatments or dentures
- Relieves pain caused by impacted or overcrowded teeth
- Improves gum health by reducing pressure or irritation around damaged teeth
- Prevents complications, such as cysts, or damage to neighboring teeth

There’s nothing fun about getting a crown especially in an upper molar but Dr Kaceli was quick and efficient and made it tolerable. She just did my 4th one and didn’t dread it at all.
