Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure performed to remove teeth that are beyond repair. In Saratoga Springs, Dr. Alexandra Porcu at Harrison Family Dentists specializes in this procedure, ensuring the comfort and safety of all patients. Tooth extractions are typically required when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, when there is an infection that cannot be resolved with root canal therapy, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making it a painless experience. Dr. Porcu's expertise and gentle approach make tooth extractions a stress-free process for patients.
Tooth extractions are crucial in maintaining your overall oral health. If a tooth is severely damaged or infected, it can cause pain and discomfort, and if left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to more serious health issues. Tooth extractions can effectively eliminate these problems, relieving pain and preventing the spread of infection. Moreover, in cases of overcrowding or preparation for orthodontic treatment, tooth extractions can help create space, allowing your teeth to align properly for a healthier and more attractive smile.

By removing a severely damaged or infected tooth, tooth extractions can prevent further oral health issues. This includes stopping the spread of infection to neighboring teeth and the rest of the body, as well as preventing the deterioration of jawbone and gum tissue.
Tooth extractions can pave the way for further dental treatments such as implants, bridges, or orthodontic treatment. By creating the necessary space, tooth extractions can help ensure the success of these treatments, leading to a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing smile.
The first step in the tooth extraction process involves a thorough consultation and examination by Dr. Porcu. She will review your dental and medical history, conduct a comprehensive oral examination, and take X-rays if necessary. This step is crucial in determining the need for a tooth extraction and planning the procedure.
Before the tooth extraction, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area and ensure a painless procedure. Dr. Porcu's team is skilled in providing comfortable and effective anesthesia, helping to alleviate any anxiety you may have about the procedure.
Once the area is numb, Dr. Porcu will proceed with the extraction. She will carefully loosen the tooth using specialized dental tools before gently removing it from the socket. This step is performed with utmost precision and care to ensure a smooth and successful extraction.
