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 regular patients until at least Monday, April 1, 2020.

If you do have a dental emergency, we are here and will be here and happy to help you. Please call us and we’ll get you in ASAP.

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 502-430-3451.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael Kirchner
Kirchner Dental of St. Matthews

Remove Damaged Teeth With Oral Surgery in Louisville

While restorative dentistry can repair many damaged teeth, it can’t save them all. For teeth that are too far gone to save or need to be extracted for other reasons, you may need oral surgery in Louisville. You’re in good hands when it’s performed by one of our experienced dentists.

Your extraction will go well with:

  • Our team’s gentle touch
  • Effective local anesthesia to numb your mouth prior to your treatment
  • A same-day emergency appointment if you need us to get you out of pain fast

To talk to us about tooth removal, call us at 502-430-3451.

We’ll Ensure Your Recovery Goes Well

We’ll provide you with complete instructions to help ensure a fast and comfortable recovery after your extraction. You will want to:

  • Avoid physical activity for a day or two
  • Prop your head up with pillows to minimize swelling and bleeding
  • Use ice to reduce swelling, if needed
  • Stick to soft foods for at least a few days, also avoiding spicy foods
  • Do not brush and floss the area near the extraction site until it is fully healed; continue to brush and floss other areas
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking, as both can interfere with healing

For oral surgery in Louisville, call us at 502-430-3451 or use our online form. If you want to see us on the same day, call us by 10 a.m.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery

We can perform tooth extractions at Kirchner Dental of St. Matthews. Tooth removal may be needed to get rid of a severely damaged or infected tooth. We also may remove an impacted tooth. Teeth also can be taken out in preparation for orthodontic care or to make room for implant-supported replacement teeth.

After you have a tooth or teeth removed, you will want to minimize physical activity as your mouth heals. You may want to use ice or cold packs to reduce swelling. You should stick to soft foods and avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and tobacco during your recovery. You also will want to avoid brushing or flossing near the extraction site.

As with many dental procedures, this will depend on what policy you have and which company provides your insurance. We will do our part to help you get the maximum benefits from your plan. Regardless of how much is covered, we want you to get your treatment within your budget. Ask about our many payment options, including financing.
