Tooth Extraction
Keeping a tooth that is impacted or severely damaged might be causing you more harm than good.
If so, Drs. Amy Creech-Gionis, S. Nicole Mahdavieh, and Constanza L. Leal can perform a tooth extraction to restore your health and comfort.
Why consider treatment at our dental offices in Westchase or Carrollwood, FL?
Is Tooth Extraction Painful?
The team at Tampa Dental Wellness cares about your comfort and strives to make treatment as painless as possible. In addition to local anesthesia, our dentists can provide sedation to put you at ease before your procedure. We offer oral sedatives, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation to induce varying levels of relaxation. Most patients find their extractions to be virtually painless, and some don't remember the procedure at all.

Mar 2021 First visit, in search of a new dentist. Very friendly staff. Good communication via email and text messages prior to appointment. Dentist was very informative about the health of my teeth, and explained everything in great detail. One of the best dentist experiences I've had since living in Florida for the past 12 years. Aug 2021 Just had my second visit and again really good service. Again very informative and full explanation regarding my health. Another great experience.

I never take the time to write reviews but I just love this place. I needed a new dentist and a lot of work done and don’t have a lot of trust in the honesty of dentists. It is so evident that they truly care about their patients from the doctor to the office manager. Sabra is the sweetest. I work closer to the Westchase location but I almost don’t even care driving further because she’s just so caring and wonderful and I look forward to seeing her every time. Dr Leal does amazing work and I trust her completely with my dental care. She explains everything thoroughly and she’s very talented. This dentistry has top notch hospitality and make you feel comfortable from start to finish. I’m very happy they were recommended to me.

Apply Pressure
Once you are home, change out the gauze and gently bite down. This will help a blood clot to form and protect the incision from bacteria. Repeat these steps every 20 minutes until bleeding stops.
Avoid Irritation
For the first few days, consume a soft foods diet and avoid chewing on the side of the extracted tooth.
Mitigate Side-Effects
Applying an ice pack to your outer jaw every 20 to 30 minutes can reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain medications can also help with side effects like pain, swelling, and soreness.
Attend Follow-Ups
Make sure to attend your follow-up appointments so our dentists can remove your sutures and check on your recovery.
