Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. With years of experience, Dr. Bodnar is Crown Point’s go-to dentist for professional tooth extractions done right.
Dr. Bodnar uses modern, gentle techniques to ensure a stress-free experience. You'll always know what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
Before the procedure, it is important to prepare properly and the dentist will review your medical history and conduct an examination of your teeth, mouth, and jaw.
After the extraction, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist to ensure a successful recovery.
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. Tooth extractions can improve your overall oral health and prevent future problems.
Common reasons a tooth extraction is performed, include:
Deep decay that reaches the pulp
Gum disease causing loosening of the tooth
Impacted or infected wisdom teeth
Cracks or fractures below the gum line
Orthodontic needs or space issues
At Comprehensive Dental Care, we take the time to explain your options clearly so you feel confident about your treatment decision. Dr. Bodnar uses advanced techniques and gentle care to ensure your extraction is smooth and as pain-free as possible. After your procedure, we’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions to support proper healing.
Our focus is always on your safety, comfort, and outcome. The extraction will be performed with precision, using tools and techniques designed to minimize trauma to surrounding tissue. The process is typically quick, and many patients are surprised at how simple it feels.
Afterward, we’ll apply gauze to control bleeding and provide you with recovery instructions so you can begin healing right away.
The first 24–48 hours are the most important for healing. To protect the extraction site:
Avoid drinking from a straw, smoking, or vigorous rinsing
Use a cold compress to reduce swelling
Rinse gently with salt water after the first 24 hours
Take prescribed medications as directed
Stick to soft foods and keep your mouth clean
We’ll schedule a follow-up if needed and are always just a call away if you have questions during recovery.
