TOOTH AND WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION IN MOORESVILLE AND STATESVILLE, NC

At Calm Waters Dentistry & Implants, we always prioritize saving your natural teeth whenever possible. Treatments such as dental crowns, fillings, and root canal therapy can often repair teeth that are damaged, infected, or broken. However, when a tooth is beyond repair or poses a risk to your overall health a tooth extraction may be the best option.

Our experienced team, led by Dr. Nick Wentworth, provides gentle tooth extractions in Mooresville and Statesville, NC, in a calm and supportive environment. We take the time to ensure your comfort before, during, and after treatment, with clear aftercare instructions to support fast recovery.

WHEN IS TOOTH REMOVAL NECESSARY?

Tooth extractions are considered only when necessary. Common reasons for removal include:

Severe decay or infection that cannot be treated with a root canal
Broken or fractured teeth beyond repair
Advanced gum disease that has loosened the tooth
Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
Wisdom teeth that are impacted or causing problems

By carefully evaluating your oral health, we recommend extractions only when they are the safest, healthiest choice for your smile.

GENTLE TOOTH REMOVAL

We know that extractions can feel stressful, especially for patients with dental anxiety. At Calm Waters Dentistry & Implants, we take every step to make your experience as stress-free as possible. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable, and our caring team provides supportive instructions for smooth healing. Most patients find that recovery is quicker and easier than expected, especially with proper aftercare.

WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTIONS IN MOORESVILLE & STATESVILLE

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually erupt between ages 17 and 21. Unfortunately, many people don’t have enough room in their mouths to accommodate them. This can lead to impaction, infection, or painful crowding.

During your consultation, Dr. Wentworth will use advanced imaging to determine if removal is necessary. Wisdom teeth may need to be extracted if they are:

Impacted (stuck under the gums or jawbone)
Growing at an angle that threatens other teeth
Causing pain, swelling, or recurring infections
Difficult to clean, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease

Our team provides wisdom teeth removal in Mooresville and Statesville with patient comfort as our top priority.

FAQS
TOOTH EXTRACTIONS

WHEN CAN I EAT AFTER A TOOTH EXTRACTION?

Wait until the numbness wears off before eating to avoid accidentally biting your tongue or cheek. Start with soft foods such as applesauce, scrambled eggs, yogurt, or oatmeal. Smoothies and milkshakes are fine but avoid straws, as suction can cause a painful dry socket.

WHEN CAN I RETURN TO MY NORMAL ROUTINE?

Most patients take the rest of the day off to rest. Keep your head elevated and avoid strenuous activity for at least 24 hours. Gradually return to your normal diet and daily routine as you feel comfortable.

IS TOOTH EXTRACTION PAINFUL?

No. With local anesthesia, you won’t feel pain during the procedure only pressure. Afterward, mild soreness is common and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs.

WHAT ARE MY TOOTH REPLACEMENT OPTIONS AFTER AN EXTRACTION?

We offer several restorative solutions to replace missing teeth, including dental bridges, full or partial dentures, and dental implants in Mooresville & Statesville. These options restore both appearance and function for a healthier, more confident smile.

HOW LONG DOES RECOVERY TAKE?

Most patients feel better within a few days, but full healing of the gums and bone may take several weeks. Following aftercare instructions is essential for proper recovery.
