At our dental office, we strive to preserve as many natural teeth as possible. However, there are situations when tooth extraction becomes necessary for the sake of your oral health and overall well-being. With advances in dental care, extractions can now be performed with greater precision and comfort than ever before. Plus, modern tooth replacement options look, feel, and function more like natural teeth than ever before.
Tooth extraction may be required when a tooth is severely compromised by injury, decay, or bone loss. In such cases, the tooth becomes non-restorable and needs to be removed to prevent further damage to surrounding teeth and tissues. Extraction may also be necessary for problematic wisdom teeth that are impacted or poorly positioned, as these can lead to complications like infection, cysts, oral pain, and issues with adjacent teeth. In some cases, we might recommend extracting a primary tooth if it's ankylosed, fused to the underlying bone, or over-retained and reluctant to fall out naturally. Extractions are also common in orthodontic treatment plans when there is significant dental crowding that needs to be addressed.
When you visit our office for a tooth extraction, you can expect personalized, compassionate care from our highly trained dentist and professional team. We use the latest technology and treatment methods to make every procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing precise, gentle care while mitigating any anxiety or discomfort you may feel during your visit.
Following a tooth extraction, we will discuss the best options for rebuilding your complete, beautiful smile. These may include dentures, fixed bridges, or dental implants. As the most advanced treatment method available today, dental implants come closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
At our dental practice, we prioritize patient care and comfort above all else. We offer skilled, compassionate care and personalized solutions for every smile. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call today.
