Even though permanent teeth were meant to last a lifetime, there are a number of reasons why a tooth extraction in Chester, VA might be necessary. The most common reason for a tooth extraction involves teeth that are badly damaged&#8211;either from trauma or decay&#8211;that cannot be repaired through other restorative dental procedures.<\/p>\n<h3>Chester, VA Tooth Extraction Procedure<\/h3>\n<p>Tooth extraction procedures are usually a last-resort after Dr. George P. Varkey, our Chester, VA dentist, has made every other effort to restore and repair the tooth. Before removing the tooth, Dr. Varkey will numb the area&#8211;a general anesthetic may also be used if you are having more than one tooth pulled or the tooth is impacted. To remove the tooth, Dr. Varkey will grasp the tooth using forceps and gently rock the tooth back and forth to loosen it from the jawbone and ligaments that hold it in place. If the tooth is impacted, it may need to be surgically removed.<\/p>\n<p>After a tooth extraction procedure in Aurora, a blood clot usually forms in the socket. In some cases, stitches may be used to close the gum in the extraction site. Recovery from a tooth extraction typically takes a few days&#8211;Dr. Varkey will provide post-operative care instructions and details about any necessary follow-up care.<\/p>\n<p>Contact United Smiles to learn more about tooth extractions in Chester, VA and to find out if you might need one.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tooth Extraction in Chester, VA - United Smiles<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/unitedsmiles.com\/website_library\/tooth-extraction-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tooth Extraction in Chester, VA - United Smiles\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u00a0 A tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone.
