Tooth Extractions
Here at Lytle Family Dentistry, we strive to keep our patients’ natural teeth with preventative dentistry. Despite this, there are instances when eradicating the tooth via tooth extraction is the best route. Dr. Justin Crocker and his dentist will avoid this procedure if they can, but in some cases pulling a tooth may be the best option for your oral care.
Removing the tooth can often prevent the spread of infection. When teeth become injured, decayed, or infected, the infection can quickly spread if not dealt with promptly. If there is a severe infection in your teeth, dental extraction could be the next option for you to save your smile. Our experienced dental team will ensure you have stress-free tooth removal.

This procedure may not require much time, but time varies and depends on each individual’s needs. If you are worried or concerned about anything, Dr. Crocker will walk you through each step of the procedure to ensure you feel comfortable and ready to begin the service. After the tooth is extracted, there will be tooth extraction aftercare we will want you to follow.
Tooth extraction healing can take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks. During these four weeks, we will want you to follow certain cleaning procedures to ensure the area does not become infected.
