Post Removal in New York City, NY

Post removal is not often easy, as they're placed to be a permanent fixture in the mouth. The difficulty level of post removal will depend on the type of post, the kind of cement used when placing the post, the space between the roots of the teeth, and the accessibility of the post. Our oral surgeons, however, use clinically-proven techniques to offer our patients safe and efficient post removal. We use state-of-the-art materials to minimize downtime. This procedure is often performed using general anesthesia to provide you with maximum comfort. Because general anesthesia is used, you should have a friend or family member available to take you home.

After post removal, your mouth will need time to heal. You will likely experience some discomfort, but this shouldn't be anything an over-the-counter pain medication can't help with. We may use a temporary filling to seal the tooth roots, so you will need to come back into the office after your healing process to receive a restorative appliance. This is an important aspect in keeping the area clean and free from damage and infection in the future.
