Tooth Extraction & Removal
At our Dental Clinic in Ocean Park, we understand the anxiety that some individuals may feel about having a tooth extracted. In addition to our compassionate, comprehensive care, we offer sedation dentistry to provide as comfortable an experience as possible.
The removal of impacted teeth may be necessary before they crowd other teeth, become infected or form cysts around the impacted tooth, resulting in the destruction of the jaw bone and healthy teeth. The removed tooth can be replaced with a dental implant, denture, or bridge.
Root Canal
When a tooth becomes infected, it is usually related to the nerves in the root of the tooth. The infected nerves need to be removed. If left untreated an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem that includes bone loss in the jaw.
During a root canal procedure, the area around the tooth is numbed with a local anesthetic. Dr. Lannard will then drill down into the tooth to create an opening into the canal. He will then be able to remove infected tissue and clean the canal.
After the infection has been removed, the space is filled with a sealant. A tooth that has had a root canal becomes fragile, and is at risk of breaking, therefore we recommended restoring such a tooth with a crown.
Dr. Todd Lannard and the staff at the Dental Clinic in Ocean Park are highly skilled in pain and anxiety free procedures. Local anesthetics, sedation and proper pain medication allow the procedure to be performed with little to no pain in most cases.
