The purpose of this document is to provide written information regarding the risks, benefits and alternatives of the procedures named above. This material serves as a supplement to the discussion you have with your dentist. It is important that you fully understand this information, so please read this document thoroughly.
THE PROCEDURE
An Extraction is a procedure that involves the complete removal of a tooth from the mouth. Some extractions may require cutting into the gums and removing supporting bone and/or cutting the tooth into sections prior to removal. In some cases, a collagen plug (membrane) or allograft bone may be placed during the extraction to aid in healing, and to prepare for a restoration upon a later date. There may be additional charges should Dr Mary deem these procedures necessary.
You will be given a local anesthetic before your procedure. With local anesthesia, an injection of drugs causes numbness in the exact location of this dental procedure. Dr Mary will make an incision in the gum tissue to expose the root of the tooth to be extracted. Dr Mary may use dental hand instruments or a dental bur to remove the roots of your tooth. Any sharp, or uneven exposed bone will be shaved, cut or smoothed with dental burs or a bone file. Water may be used in the area to remove debris. Your gum tissue will be closed with stitches. You may have a temporary denture placed.
