Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure performed to remove a problematic tooth from the mouth. At Stevens Dental, located in the heart of Baton Rouge, we understand that the idea of tooth extraction can be daunting. However, with Dr. Kasan Stevens' expertise and our state-of-the-art technology, the process is made as comfortable and efficient as possible. Whether it's due to severe decay, infection, or overcrowding, tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to maintain overall oral health. Our compassionate team ensures that each patient receives personalized care, minimizing discomfort and promoting a swift recovery.
Tooth extractions are essential for maintaining optimal oral health when a tooth is beyond repair. Ignoring a damaged tooth can lead to more severe issues, such as infections that may spread to other parts of the mouth or even the body. Additionally, extractions can alleviate pain and prevent future dental problems caused by overcrowding, such as misalignment. At Stevens Dental, we prioritize your comfort and well-being, ensuring that each extraction is performed with precision and care. Trusting Dr. Kasan Stevens with your dental needs means choosing a path to a healthier, pain-free smile.

One of the most immediate benefits of tooth extraction is the relief from pain caused by a damaged or infected tooth. Persistent toothaches can be debilitating, affecting your daily activities and overall quality of life. By removing the problematic tooth, you eliminate the source of discomfort, allowing you to return to your normal routine pain-free.
A decayed or infected tooth can pose a significant risk to your oral health if left untreated. The bacteria from an infected tooth can spread to adjacent teeth and gums, leading to more severe dental issues. Tooth extraction helps prevent this spread, protecting your mouth from further damage.
Tooth extractions can contribute to better overall oral health by addressing overcrowding and alignment issues. When your mouth has too many teeth, it can lead to misalignment, making it difficult to clean effectively, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
The first step in the tooth extraction process is a thorough consultation with Dr. Kasan Stevens. During this appointment, she will assess your oral health, review any symptoms or concerns you may have, and discuss the reasons for the extraction. This step is crucial for understanding your unique needs and ensuring that the procedure is tailored to provide the best possible outcome. Our team will also take the time to answer any questions you might have, ensuring you're fully informed and comfortable with the process.
Once the decision for extraction is made, the next step involves preparing for the procedure. Dr. Stevens will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare, which may include dietary restrictions or adjustments to your medication routine. On the day of the extraction, our team will ensure you are comfortable and at ease, using local anesthesia to numb the area and minimize any discomfort. We prioritize patient comfort and aim to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
The extraction procedure itself is performed with precision and care. Dr. Stevens will gently remove the affected tooth, taking care to preserve the surrounding bone and tissue. Our advanced techniques and tools ensure that the process is efficient and minimizes trauma to the area. Once the tooth is removed, Dr. Stevens will provide instructions for post-extraction care, including tips for managing any discomfort and promoting healing. At Stevens Dental, we are committed to your speedy recovery and long-term oral health.
