With dental implants, you can:
Replace one or several missing teeth
Restore your ability to chew and speak naturally
Enjoy a confident smile that looks and feels real
Prevent bone loss and protect your jaw healtH
Tooth Extractions & Aftercare
Sometimes a tooth may need to be removed due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, or overcrowding. Our dentists—Dr. Chan, Dr. Hudec, and the team—will carefully evaluate your needs and discuss tooth replacement options like implants or bridges if extraction is necessary.
To promote proper healing after an extraction, we recommend:
Biting gently on gauze for 30–45 minutes to form a protective blood clot.
Avoiding straws, smoking, or sucking motions for the first 72 hours.
Applying ice packs for up to 48 hours to reduce swelling.
Returning to gentle brushing and flossing after 24 hours, while avoiding the extraction site.
Drinking plenty of fluids and eating soft foods as tolerated.
If pain, swelling, or bleeding persists after 2–3 days, contact our office immediately at (440) 461-5482. Continue any prescribed antibiotics as directed.

Root Canal Therapy
We understand that the words “root canal” can sound intimidating—but the truth is, modern root canal therapy is a safe, effective, and virtually painless procedure that helps save your natural tooth.
A root canal is performed when the soft tissue inside a tooth (called the pulp) becomes infected or damaged. Instead of extracting the tooth, our dentists remove the infection, clean the area, and seal it—relieving pain while preserving your smile.
The Root Canal Process
Root canal therapy is a routine procedure with a success rate of over 90%. Most patients compare a root canal to having a standard filling—quick, comfortable, and highly effective. Here’s what you can expect:
Local Anesthesia – The tooth and surrounding area are gently numbed to ensure your comfort.
Removing the Infection – The dentist carefully removes the infected or damaged pulp.
Cleaning & Sealing – The root canal system is thoroughly cleaned, then sealed to prevent future infection.
Restoring the Tooth – A crown or filling is typically placed to strengthen the tooth and restore full function.
Protect Your Smile with Root Canal Therapy
A root canal can relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and restore your oral health. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, call Mayfield Smiles at (440) 461-5482 to schedule your consultation today.
Why You Might Need a Root Canal
Infections or damage to the pulp may be caused by deep decay or cavities, cracked or chipped teeth, trauma or injury to the tooth, or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth. Signs you may need a root canal include tooth pain when chewing or biting, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling around the gums or jaw, or visible damage or discoloration of the tooth.
Committed to Clean & Safe Care
Mayfield Smiles strives to provide a clean, safe and comfortable environment that protects clients and team members alike and helps control the spread of infections. Patients can rest assured that we follow the guidelines from the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC),and the Ohio State Dental Board, as well as others to ensure the safest, most comfortable environment possible.
