Toothaches can be absolutely debilitating, and if you’re experiencing one now, you’re probably interested in doing whatever you can to make the pain stop. Thankfully, we have a quick and easy solution for you— a tooth extraction from Weldon Dental of Rome could be just what you need to get rid of your aching tooth.
We work hard to make our patients completely comfortable, so we can ensure that having your tooth removed will be completely painless. Give us a call and we’ll talk to you about what the procedure entails.
While tooth extractions can seem a little bit scary, there are plenty of circumstances where they are by far the best option to help you. For example:
The process of removing a tooth is much more gentle than you’d likely expect. For one, your mouth will be numbed entirely before the procedure, which means that the most you’ll feel is a slight pressure as your tooth is being removed. We’ll also take the time to measure and model your teeth, as this will make it easier to craft the restoration used to replace the one that is removed.
The extraction itself involves using a tool called an elevator to loosen the tooth from its socket, then forceps to gently wiggle it out of place. This will be done with care so as to ensure your complete comfort for the duration of the treatment.
As you may have heard, the days after a tooth extraction can involve a little bit of tenderness, and that you need to take it easy for a while in order to ensure proper healing. Here are a few things to keep in mind during the process of aftercare.
Even after your dentist helps you understand why tooth extraction is necessary for you, it’s still reasonable to want to understand what you can expect to pay before you commit to the procedure. The price of your extraction depends on a variety of factors, and the staff at Weldon Dental of Rome will be able to give you a proper cost estimate during your consultation. Removing a tooth may be the best thing to preserve the health of the rest of your smile, and neglecting to get the care you need can lead to further oral infection and tooth loss. Here’s a brief guide to how much having a tooth removed can cost and how we can help you can fit your treatment into your budget.
While we can’t offer you a precise cost estimate until we have evaluated your tooth in our office, there are a few factors that determine most of the final amount. These include:
Dental insurance plans often cover necessary treatments such as tooth extractions by about 50% after the deductible has been met, but your plan may impose limits on the number of teeth it will pay to have extracted in a year or a waiting period before your coverage kicks in. Our team will gladly go over your insurance plan with you so you know exactly what your policy will pay for before you begin your treatment.
A tooth extraction can be necessary for your oral and overall health even if you don’t have dental insurance, so we offer several ways to help qualifying patients manage their dentist’s bills more easily. We partner with CareCredit to offer flexible financing options that can break the cost of your tooth extraction and restoration into easily manageable monthly installments.
