Sedation Dentistry Keeps You Comfortable Throughout Treatment
Summit Point Dental offers a comprehensive range of sedation options that can be administered in several forms to induce different levels of relaxation.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (otherwise known as laughing gas) is administered through a mask placed over your mouth and nose during the procedure. It induces a mild level of sedation while inhaled and wears off quickly after your treatment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation involves an oral anti-anxiety medication prescribed by your dentist to keep you relaxed during treatment. You will take the medicine about an hour before the start of your appointment to achieve a calm state of near-sleep.
IV Sedation
IV sedation is one of the deepest levels of sedation we can provide during dental treatment and is usually reserved for patients with severe anxiety. The drug is administered to the bloodstream through an IV to induce deep relaxation, but not complete unconsciousness.
When Do We Recommend an Extraction?
While we will always attempt the most conservative treatment possible, in some cases, tooth extraction is the best course of action. Reasons for extraction may include:
Decay eats away at healthy tooth enamel, weakening the structure and often causing infection. Once decay reaches a certain point, the tooth can no longer support a dental crown and needs to be extracted to prevent the spread of infection.
An injury to the face can result in serious structural damage to your teeth. In cases of deep fractures or breakage near the gumline, we may recommend tooth extraction followed by restorative treatment to replace the tooth.
Gum disease can cause structural damage to teeth that is similar to tooth decay. When left untreated, the gum tissue will deteriorate, leaving your teeth loose in their sockets. In the most advanced stages of gum disease, unsupported teeth may require extraction.
Impaction is a condition where a tooth gets trapped beneath the gumline and never fully erupts. This often occurs when there is not enough room in the dental arch for a tooth to grow in or when the surrounding teeth are overcrowded.
Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to develop, usually in a person's late teens or early 20s. Unfortunately, many patients experience complications in wisdom teeth development and require extraction before or after they emerge from the gumline.
Do I Need a Tooth Extraction?
Severe pain, gum swelling, and visible tooth fractures can all be indicative of a serious dental problem. However, there is no way to know for sure if you need extraction unless you see a dentist for an exam.
If you suspect a problem with one or more of your teeth, contact our McKinney dental office as soon as possible. The sooner you see the dentist, the more likely we can provide treatment to save your natural teeth.

Replacing an Extracted Tooth Premium Restorative Options
Undergoing tooth extraction does not mean you will have to live with a gap in your smile permanently. You have several options to replace the missing tooth, ranging from traditional dental bridges to implant-supported solutions.
An implant is a small titanium post inserted into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth roots. When the jaw heals, the implant becomes fused to the bone tissue and is capped with a custom-made crown that looks and feels just like a natural tooth. In some cases, we can even provide implants on the same day as your tooth extraction to significantly minimize your restorative treatment timeline.

Aleks
I had a crown done and a tooth extraction with a bone graft(for a replacement tooth later). It was all very affordable, the consultant walked me through my payment options. Dr. K and his assistant were very gentle and informative.

View on GoogleIs Tooth Extraction Painful?
Despite common misconceptions, an experienced dentist can virtually eliminate pain during a tooth extraction procedure. In fact, it can be much more painful to avoid extractions. Let us provide the relief you deserve.
What To Expect
Before your procedure at our McKinney dental office, your dentist will provide you with the proper instructions to prepare for your extraction. If you require oral conscious or IV sedation, you will need someone to drive you home.
Recovery Instructions
To prevent complications and help ensure a successful recovery, please follow all your dentist's post-op instructions carefully.
Clean Carefully
Be careful to avoid the extraction site when brushing your teeth for a few days after your procedure. To keep the area clean, you can gently swirl some antibacterial mouthwash or salt water.
Eat Soft Foods
We recommend eating a soft foods diet for a few days to avoid dislodging the blood clot (a complication known as dry socket). It is important to refrain from using a straw for the first 48 hours, as this can also cause dry socket.
Manage Side Effects
Side effects like minor swelling and sensitivity are normal, especially in the first 48 hours after tooth extraction. You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever as needed to help manage discomfort. Your dentist may also prescribe an antibiotic to prevent infection.
If you experience severe pain, fever, or other unusual side effects, contact our McKinney practice immediately.
