Tooth Extractions

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. Our dentist offers this service as a last resort to help keep the rest of your mouth healthy.

Why Receive a Tooth Extraction?

One common reason is severe tooth decay that has caused irreparable damage to the tooth and cannot be restored through other dental treatments like fillings or crowns. Additionally, impacted wisdom teeth, which can cause pain and lead to dental problems, often require extraction. Teeth that are damaged due to trauma or infection may also need to be extracted to prevent further complications and maintain oral health.

Is a Tooth Extraction Right for Me?

Determining whether a tooth extraction is the right option for you requires a thorough examination by a qualified dentist or oral surgeon. They will evaluate the condition of the affected tooth, consider your overall dental health and discuss alternative treatments if available. In some cases, preserving the natural tooth might be a better option, while in others, extraction may be the most suitable choice for ensuring your oral health.

Replacement Options

After a tooth extraction, it is essential to explore tooth replacement options to restore both function and aesthetics. Dental implants, bridges and dentures are common solutions for filling the gap left by the extracted tooth. These options can provide stability, enhance chewing ability and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth.
