Tooth Extraction Kirkland
Tooth Extraction Kirkland
Tooth pain can derail your day. A cracked tooth can make chewing miserable. A stubborn infection can keep coming back. When a tooth threatens your health, Dr. Ellie Javadi can remove it with a careful approach at Orchid Periodontics & Dental Implants near Kirkland. She focuses on comfort, clean technique, and long-term stability, not just a quick removal.
Many Kirkland patients arrive anxious and unsure about what to expect from tooth extraction. Tooth pain puts you on edge. Online advice can feel confusing. You may not even know what questions to ask. That is why clarity matters from the start. You deserve a simple explanation of
Why does the tooth need to come out?
What will the procedure feel like?
What healing will look like day by day?
When you understand the plan, you can breathe easier and move forward with confidence. Dr. Javadi explains the plan in clear steps. She uses detailed imaging and predictable surgical methods.
Why Dr. Javadi is the First Choice for Kirkland Patients?
As a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, Dr. Javadi brings over 20 years of precision-focused experience to every procedure. She combines specialist-level skill with a calm, patient-first style, so you can feel confident from the first visit through full recovery. During the consultation, she follows these steps:
- Minimally Invasive Techniques
Dr. Javadi uses controlled, conservative methods that protect gum tissue and preserve bone when possible. This approach can reduce post-op soreness. It can also support faster, cleaner healing. - Wisdom Teeth & Complex Cases
Some extractions involve curved roots, broken teeth, infection, or impacted wisdom teeth. Dr. Javadi has specialized training for these cases. She plans each step to keep the procedure predictable and safe. - Personalized Aftercare
Recovery does not work well with generic advice. Dr. Javadi gives clear, simple instructions that match your situation. You will know what to eat, how to clean the area, and what signs need a call. - Future-Ready Solutions
An extraction often connects to a bigger plan. Dr. Javadi can discuss socket grafting, bone preservation, and implant timing when needed. This planning helps protect your bite and reduce bone loss after removal.
What a Tooth Extraction Does?
During an extraction, a dentist removes a tooth from the jaw socket. We use this treatment when the tooth cannot deliver long‑term function or comfort.
Why You Might Need Tooth Removal?
Tooth removal may be recommended when you deal with:
- Severe decay that a filling, crown, or root canal cannot save
- A fracture that extends below the gumline
- Infection that returns or spreads into the bone
- Advanced gum disease that loosens the tooth
- Impacted wisdom teeth that crowd teeth or trap bacteria
- Crowding that blocks orthodontic movement
If you notice swelling, fever, or rapid changes in pain, you need medical advice.
What are the Benefits of Tooth Extraction?
A strategic extraction can protect your overall oral health.
- Relief from constant pressure and throbbing
- Reduced risk of infection spreading to nearby bone and teeth
- More space for braces, bridges, dentures, or implants
- Better access for brushing and flossing in crowded areas
Tooth Extraction for Kirkland Patients with Dr. Javadi
Patients often ask, “Will it hurt?” and “How long will healing take?” We build the visit around comfort and clear answers.
Consultation and imaging
The team reviews your symptoms and medical history. Digital X-rays may be taken to evaluate roots, bone level, and signs of infection. Then you get a clear explanation of treatment options and the next steps.
Anesthesia and sedation
Local anesthesia numbs the area so you stay comfortable. You may feel pressure during the procedure, not sharp pain. If dental anxiety is a concern, nitrous oxide or oral sedation may be available. If you choose sedation, plan for a ride home.
Gentle removal
The tooth is loosened and removed with controlled, careful movements. If the tooth is damaged, broken, or sits below the gumline, it may be removed in sections. The goal is to protect surrounding bone and gum tissue while removing the tooth safely.
Site protection and future planning
The area is cleaned and supported for proper healing. Stitches may be placed when the tissue needs extra support. If you plan to replace the tooth with an implant, socket grafting may be recommended to help preserve bone volume and support future implant placement.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment?
A little preparation makes recovery easier.
- Share your medical history and medication list
- Follow food and drink instructions before sedation
- Wear comfortable clothes
- Plan time to rest after treatment
- Stock soft foods and cold packs
- Avoid smoking and vaping
If you use sedation, arrange a driver. Keep your schedule light for the rest of the day.
Recovery and Aftercare of Tooth Extraction
Healing starts right away. You can support it with simple steps.
Appointment and Preparation
Bite on gauze with steady pressure. Replace gauze when it saturates. Call us if bright red bleeding continues.
Eating and drinking
Start with soft, cool foods after numbness fades. Chew on the opposite side. Avoid straws for at least 24 hours. Skip crunchy foods for several days.
Swelling and discomfort
Swelling often peaks around day two or three. Use cold compresses during the first day. Drink cool liquids and rest. Avoid heavy exercise for two to three days.
Oral hygiene
Keep fingers and your tongue away from the site. Brush and floss the other areas as usual. Rinse gently with warm salt water after 24 hours, unless we give different instructions.
Protect the clot
The blood clot shields the bone and nerves. Avoid smoking, forceful spitting, and vigorous rinsing. These habits raise the risk of dry socket.
How Long Healing Takes?
Most patients feel improvement within a few days. Many people notice gum comfort improves within one to two weeks. Bone healing continues.
If you notice fever, worsening swelling, a bad taste, or pain that spikes after day three, you need to consult your doctor. A missing tooth can change your bite and your smile. Nearby teeth can drift into the open space. Your jawbone can also shrink over time.
Dr. Javadi can help you plan replacement. Many patients choose dental implants to support bone and restore chewing power. In the case of implants, you need to take care of what you eat after getting implants, for the first few weeks. Other patients choose a bridge or a removable option. We can also coordinate care with your general dentist.
Cost and Insurance
Several factors shape the cost of an extraction:
- Simple versus surgical removal
- Tooth position and root anatomy
- Anesthesia or sedation choice
- Need for bone grafting or follow‑up visits
- Number of teeth involved
Our team will review your benefits and explain expected costs before treatment. Ask about payment options if you do not carry insurance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I feel pain during the procedure?
We numb the area before we start. Most patients feel pressure, not pain.
When can I eat solid food?
Start with soft foods the first day. Add more texture as comfort returns.
Do you remove wisdom teeth?
Yes. Dr. Javadi removes erupted and impacted wisdom teeth after imaging and planning.
Can you do a same‑day extraction?
Often, yes. Safety guides timing. Sedation needs or significant swelling may require scheduling.
When can I get an implant after extraction?
Timing depends on bone quality and infection status. Dr. Javadi will explain your options, including grafting and staged placement.
