Tooth extraction is a dental procedure involving the removal of a tooth. Our primary goal as dental professionals is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, but there are situations where tooth extraction becomes necessary to maintain overall oral health and function. After an extraction, we offer various tooth replacement options to ensure your smile remains healthy, beautiful and functional.
Several dental conditions may warrant tooth extraction:
- Severe Infection: When a tooth is extensively infected and has damaged a significant portion of the tooth structure and surrounding bone, extraction may be the only viable solution to prevent the spread of infection.
- Serious Decay: Sometimes, dental decay can progress to a point where restoration is no longer possible. In such cases, extracting the affected tooth becomes essential to prevent further complications.
- Overcrowding: In cases of severe overcrowding where there is not enough space in the mouth for all teeth to align correctly, extraction may be necessary to create room for proper alignment and bite.
Our experienced oral surgeon and team are dedicated to ensuring your comfort during the tooth extraction process. We utilize gentle techniques and, when needed, provide local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. After the procedure, our team will provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions to promote proper healing and minimize any potential complications.
