When it comes to dental health, sometimes a tooth extraction is necessary to preserve your overall well-being. At Constandelis Dental in Clifton, NJ, we understand that the thought of having a tooth pulled can be daunting. However, with our experienced team led by Dr. Dena Constandelis, you can rest assured that the process will be as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is decayed beyond repair, damaged, or causing overcrowding in the mouth. Our top priority is to protect your oral health, and sometimes removing a problematic tooth is the best course of action.
Tooth extractions can be essential for maintaining your oral health. If a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, it can lead to infections that may spread to other parts of your mouth or even your body. By removing the problematic tooth, you can prevent these complications and maintain a healthy smile.
Additionally, extractions may be necessary to alleviate overcrowding, allowing your remaining teeth to align properly. This can improve your bite and make it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene. At Constandelis Dental, we ensure that the extraction process is as painless as possible. We prioritize your comfort and peace of mind above all else!

Removing a severely decayed or damaged tooth can prevent infections from spreading throughout your mouth. This proactive step is crucial for maintaining oral health and can save you from more extensive dental treatments in the future.
An unhealthy tooth can cause significant discomfort or pain. By extracting it, you can alleviate this pain and improve your overall quality of life. Once the source of the pain is removed, you can enjoy a healthier, more comfortable mouth.
Tooth extractions can improve the alignment of your teeth, making it easier to brush and floss effectively. This can lead to better oral hygiene and a reduced risk of cavities and gum disease, ensuring your smile stays bright and healthy.
The process begins with a thorough consultation and examination at Constandelis Dental. Dr. Dena Constandelis will assess the condition of your tooth and discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns you may have. This step is crucial to determine if an extraction is the best solution for your dental health. We'll also take X-rays to get a clear view of the tooth's position and the surrounding bone structure, ensuring a precise and informed treatment plan.
Once the decision for extraction is made, we prepare you for the procedure. This includes administering local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring you feel no pain during the extraction. Our team is dedicated to making you comfortable, and we'll guide you through the process, explaining each step. We may also discuss sedation options if you experience dental anxiety, so you can remain relaxed throughout the treatment.
During the extraction, Dr. Constandelis uses specialized tools to carefully remove the tooth while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues. The procedure is performed with precision and care. After the extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. This includes advice on managing discomfort, maintaining oral hygiene, and dietary recommendations. Our team is always available to address any questions or concerns you may have during your recovery.
