Tooth Extractions

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure aimed at removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While it’s typically considered a last resort, tooth extraction may be necessary for various reasons to ensure the overall health of your mouth. At Dr. Tooth Advanced Dental Care, we prioritize patient comfort and safety, offering gentle and effective tooth extraction services when needed.

There are several common reasons why tooth extraction may be recommended:

  1. Severe Decay or Damage: Teeth that are extensively decayed or damaged beyond repair may need to be extracted to prevent the spread of infection and protect the surrounding teeth and gums.

  2. Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth, or third molars, can become impacted when they do not have enough room to emerge properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and infection, necessitating extraction to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.

  3. Orthodontic Treatment: In cases of severe crowding or misalignment, tooth extraction may be recommended to create space for proper alignment through orthodontic treatment.

  4. Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can lead to the loosening of teeth, compromising their stability. In such cases, extraction may be necessary to remove teeth that cannot be saved through other means, helping to halt the progression of the disease and preserve oral health.

Our experienced team at Dr. Tooth Advanced Dental Care utilizes advanced techniques and local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience during tooth extraction. For patients who may experience anxiety or have complex cases, we also offer sedation options to help them relax during the procedure.

Following tooth extraction, our team provides detailed post-operative instructions to promote proper healing and minimize discomfort. Depending on your specific case, we may also discuss tooth replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore function and aesthetics.

If you are experiencing dental pain, swelling, or other symptoms that may indicate the need for tooth extraction, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our compassionate team is here to provide expert care and support throughout your dental journey, helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
