Though our dental team will always make every effort to save a damaged or infected tooth, in some cases a tooth extraction may be the best option for your overall oral health. Our skilled doctor may recommend a tooth extraction if a tooth is too severely decayed or damaged to be repaired, if it is associated with advanced gum disease, or if it is necessary to prepare for another dental treatment. We may also recommend wisdom tooth extraction if your wisdom teeth are impacted or are causing problems for your oral health.
If a tooth extraction is needed, our doctor will first numb the area to minimize discomfort. We will then gently loosen the tooth and carefully remove it. Following the procedure, we will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to promote healing and help you recover as quickly as possible. If needed, we can discuss tooth replacement options with you, such as dental implants, dental bridges, or dentures. We invite you to contact our office to learn more about tooth extractions and to schedule your consultation with our caring dentist.
