The Extraction Process at Avana Dental

1

Examination & X-Ray

Digital X-rays to evaluate the tooth, its roots, and surrounding bone structure for planning the extraction.

2

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area completely, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure.

3

Tooth Loosening

The tooth is gently loosened from its socket using specialized instruments designed for minimal tissue damage.

4

Extraction

The tooth is carefully removed. For surgical extractions, a small incision may be made for better access.

5

Post-Extraction Care

Gauze is placed to control bleeding, and detailed aftercare instructions are provided for smooth healing.
