Out with the Old

It can be hard to say goodbye, but sometimes it’s for the best. When you have a tooth that is too damaged to repair, removing it entirely can help resolve pain, preserve the rest of your teeth, and clear the space for future restorative work.

Looking for a tooth extraction in Kennebunk? Our providers at Generations Dentistry can refer you to skilled specialists for the best possible care.

The Tooth Extraction Process

    Scheduling

    If you have pain, swelling, or bleeding from your tooth, don’t wait! Early treatment will help you feel better sooner and provide the best outcomes. Contact Generations Dentistry to schedule a consultation with Dr. Trentalange.

    Reference

    We’ll assess your damaged tooth, take X-rays if necessary, and recommend the best course of action. If the tooth has to go, we’ll refer you to a specialist who is best equipped for your tooth extraction in Kennebunk and can give you relief.

    Treatment

    The specialist will inject a local anesthetic into your gums around the damaged tooth. Once the area is completely numb, they will carefully remove the complete tooth, disinfect the wound, and then stitch the edges together to promote healing.

    What Tooth Extractions Treat

    We prefer to save your existing teeth if possible, but when it’s not, tooth extraction is your next best option. Leaving an unsalvageable tooth in your mouth can lead to further issues. By getting it removed, you’ll support the health of the rest of your teeth. With modern treatments and technology, we have many options for replacing a missing tooth and restoring your natural smile.

      William G.

      I have been a patient of Trenalange Family Dentistry for several years. They have been very respectful of my low tolerance for dental pain. This visit was to restore the bite on four of my front lower teeth. There was no use of novocaine during this procedure. I experienced no pain and no nerve sensitivity. When I asked Dr. Trentalange why, he told me it was because of the laser technology they use and the reduction in trama to the teeth. Bravo! If you are looking for a practice that respects you and is using the best technology, look no further. I would recommend them anybody and I have.
