My experience with Artistic Dental is always polite, caring, personable, and professional. I came here after having gone years without seeing a dentist and they took time to do a careful analysis of how to place me on a treatment plan to having a healthy mouth again, without suggesting removal of all my teeth that were compromised or beginning to fail. Their service approach is very gentle and informative as they move through the treatment keeping you aware of what is taking place. Their passion for patient care is tremendous and greatly appreciated. If you are looking for professionals who are great at their craft, look no further. I am grateful for the attention to detail and the customer service approach.

Trust Our Experienced Team With Your Tooth Extraction
While restorations, especially when paired with implants, can feel lifelike, there is nothing quite like having your natural tooth. That is why Dr. Ekpenyong will always try to save a damaged tooth if it is possible. He has several methods he may recommend, such as:
- Tooth fillings
- Same-day crowns
- Root canal treatment
Dr. Ekpenyong will always recommend the most conservative option for keeping your smile in the best shape possible. However, if your tooth is too damaged or infected to save, you may benefit from an extraction instead. To begin, your dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic. You won’t feel any discomfort while we’re getting your tooth out. Once he removes your tooth, you will receive after-care instructions. This will help ensure you have a quick and comfortable recovery.
You’ll want to replace your extracted tooth as soon as possible. This way, your other teeth don’t shift positions and cause problems with your bite. To replace your tooth, you can select from restorations paired with dental implants or a traditional dental bridges instead. Your dentist will help you decide on the solution for your needs.
If you need South Holland tooth removal, call Artistic Dental Centre today at 708-578-5875 to schedule an appointment. You can also make an appointment online. When you call, be sure to ask about our patient amenities like soft pillows, warm blankets, Netflix, and music.
Common Questions About Tooth Removal
It is difficult to put a price on this service, since each patient is different with unique needs. Some factors that come into play include the location of the tooth, its condition, and how many teeth need to be removed. We’ll be happy to examine your mouth when you come in for your initial consultation and X-rays. Then we can give you a good idea of the cost for your procedure.
For most types of extractions, you can expect the site to heal within seven to 10 days. You actually play a role in how quickly you heal, however. We’ll give you complete aftercare instructions for you to follow. The closer you stick to these guidelines, the quicker and more comfortable your healing period will be.
We’ll put gauze on the socket and send you home with additional gauze that can be used to stop bleeding. If needed, we’ll provide a prescription for pain medication. We’ll also give you instructions on how to care for your extraction site and encourage blood clotting. In general, you’ll want to limit your activity for a couple of days or so.
