COVID-19 Update from Sioux Falls Smiles

To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about coronavirus in public places, even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

It has been a very difficult decision, but we have decided that it is in the best interest of our community, our team, and our patients that we not see patients for the time being.

If you do have a scheduled appointment, we will be reaching out to you directly to get you rescheduled to a future date.

This is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you … and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at 605-250-4651.

Sincerely,

Dr. Valerie Drake
Sioux Falls Smiles

Solve Dental Problems With Sioux Falls Tooth Removal

Because we offer such a wide range of restorative dentistry, there are few kinds of dental damage that we can’t repair. Still, in some cases, tooth removal in Sioux Falls is the best way to solve your problem. Fortunately, our dentists have performed countless tooth extractions during their years of practice. They can even extract wisdom teeth!

In addition to experienced dentists, you’ll appreciate:

  • 3-D imaging, which helps us plan your procedure by giving us a detailed look at the bone, tissue, and nerves surrounding your tooth as well as the tooth itself
  • Headphones and ceiling-mounted TVs, in case you want to tune us out during your extraction
  • A choice of three kinds of soothing dental sedation
  • Pillows and blankets to help you relax

Think you may need a tooth extraction? Call us today at 605-250-4651. If you’re in pain, we’ll do our best to offer you an emergency appointment as soon as possible.

Replace Your Missing Tooth ASAP to Maintain Your Dental Health

You’ll be understandably focused on your immediate recovery right after your extraction. But don’t wait too long to schedule a consultation to discuss possible tooth replacements. Nearby teeth may move out of place, which can affect your bite and cause other problems. Without a tooth root to stimulate it, your jawbone will begin to deteriorate.

To replace one missing tooth, you can choose:

  • A Single Implant Crown – A dental implant functions like a tooth root, keeping your jawbone strong and intact by stimulating it when you chew. This means you won’t experience the bone loss that typically occurs after an extraction.
  • A Dental Bridge – If you’d rather not get an implant, our dentists can attach a dental bridge to crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile.

For tooth removal in Sioux Falls, call Sioux Falls Smiles at 605-250-4651 or use our to schedule online.

Common Questions About Tooth Removal/Extractions

In the past, it was common for a tooth extraction to cause pain, both during and after the extraction. As technology and techniques have become more sophisticated, an extraction is not as uncomfortable as it was in the past. At our office, we use 3-D imaging to ensure a smooth, precise surgery. We also use local anesthesia and dental sedation to keep you pain-free during the process.

The cost of an extraction can vary depending on how many teeth you need to have removed, the condition of the tooth and its roots, where the tooth is located, and more. When you come in for your consultation, we will go over your treatment in detail and discuss the cost. Many insurance plans cover a good portion of extractions, and we offer financing to help manage any remaining costs.

Yes, tooth extractions performed by a skilled dentist are safe. Thanks to our 3-D imaging, we can gather the information needed to help us plan your extraction down to the smallest detail. This results in a safer, more precise procedure and minimizes any complications. We will only recommend an extraction when there is no better alternative, so you can be sure we have your best oral health in mind if we determine you need this procedure.
