Discovering When a Tooth Extraction is Necessary

April 30, 2024

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, a tooth may need to be removed or extracted. This procedure is not one we take lightly at One Smile, but it can be necessary to preserve your overall oral health and prevent further complications. Thanks to advancements in dental care, extracting teeth is now more precise and comfortable than ever before. Furthermore, there are many options available for replacing a missing tooth that look, feel, and function just like the real thing.

We strive to deliver gentle, compassionate care that keeps you relaxed throughout the procedure.

Reasons Why a Tooth May Need to be Extracted

A tooth may require extraction if it is severely compromised by injury, decay, or bone loss. In such cases, the tooth may not be restorable and could pose risks to your surrounding teeth and tissues. Additionally, a poorly positioned or impacted wisdom tooth may also necessitate extraction to prevent potential issues like infection, cysts, oral pain, and complications with adjacent teeth. Sometimes, an over-retained primary tooth that is reluctant to fall out on its own may need to be removed as well. In orthodontic cases where dental crowding is present, extractions are often recommended to facilitate proper alignment.

A Comprehensive Approach to Dental Extractions

Before recommending a tooth extraction, our dentist will conduct a thorough examination. This may involve the use of advanced digital radiography to determine the most effective and conservative treatment approach. We take pride in delivering precise, gentle care while keeping you informed and at ease throughout your procedure. Should you require a tooth replacement option after an extraction, we'll discuss the best options for rebuilding your complete, beautiful smile. These may include dentures, fixed bridges, or dental implants - the most advanced treatment method available today.
