Whether you have a damaged or decayed tooth that cannot be saved with an alternative treatment, or you need your wisdom teeth removed, Dr. Blalock at Lakeside Dental is here to help. We offer gentle tooth extractions using minimally invasive techniques, sedation, and numbing to ensure you feel safe and comfortable from start to finish. We proudly serve patients in Lenoir City, Loudon, Tellico Village, and surrounding areas.
The first step is a consultation with Dr. Blalock, where he will examine the tooth in question and determine whether an extraction is the right course of action. He will review your x-rays, discuss your options, and make sure you understand exactly what to expect before any treatment begins. If sedation is something you are interested in, this is a great time to bring it up.
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Blalock will thoroughly clean and numb the treatment area to ensure you are comfortable before getting started. If you have opted for laughing gas sedation, that will be administered through a comfortable nose mask at this stage. Our team will take their time to make sure you feel at ease before proceeding.
Dr. Blalock will gently loosen and remove the tooth using careful, precise technique. For basic extractions, the process is typically quick and straightforward. For wisdom tooth extractions, the process may take a little longer depending on the position of the tooth. Throughout the procedure, our team will check in to make sure you are comfortable.
After your extraction, Dr. Blalock will provide clear post-operative instructions to support a smooth recovery. It is worth noting that you can lose about 25% of the jawbone below a missing tooth within the first year after extraction, so Dr. Blalock will also discuss your tooth replacement options, such as dental implants, to help protect your jawbone and restore your smile long-term.
