It may be surprising, but sometimes the best way to preserve oral health is to remove a problematic tooth. At our office, we make sure every tooth extraction procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. With advances in care, extractions can be done more gently and with greater precision than ever before. Plus, modern tooth replacement options like dentures and dental implants can help restore the function and appearance of a natural smile.
There are several situations where removing a tooth may be the best course of action:
A severely damaged or decayed tooth that cannot be saved with treatments like dental crowns or root canals may require extraction to prevent further damage and protect overall oral health.
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to complications such as infection, cysts, pain, and problems with adjacent teeth. Extracting these teeth can help prevent these issues.
An over-retained primary tooth that refuses to fall out on its own may need extraction to facilitate proper orthodontic alignment.
Severe dental crowding may also necessitate extractions to make room for orthodontic treatment and achieve optimal alignment.
When you come into our office for a tooth extraction, we'll start by performing a comprehensive examination. Depending on your needs, this may include advanced digital radiography to help us determine the most effective and conservative approach to treatment. Throughout the procedure, we'll prioritize your comfort, using precision and gentleness to minimize any discomfort or anxiety you might feel.
In cases where a tooth needs to be replaced after extraction, we'll discuss the best options for rebuilding your complete, beautiful smile. This may include dentures, fixed bridges, or dental implants - which are the most advanced treatment method available today and come closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth.
After your procedure, we'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results. Our dedicated staff will be available to answer any questions or concerns that may arise during the recovery process.
Tooth extractions can sometimes be a necessary step towards maintaining good oral health.
