Tooth extractions can seem daunting at first, but they are sometimes necessary to protect your overall oral health. At our dental office, we strive to make every tooth extraction procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible for our patients. With the help of modern technology and techniques, we can perform extractions with precision and care. And after the procedure, you'll have several options for restoring your smile.
There are a few situations where tooth extraction may be necessary. If a tooth is severely damaged by injury or decay, it may not be possible to save it. In these cases, extracting the tooth can prevent further damage to your surrounding teeth and tissues. Similarly, problematic wisdom teeth that are impacted or poorly positioned may also require extraction to avoid complications such as infection, cysts, and pain.
In some cases, we may recommend extracting a primary tooth if it's ankylosed or over-retained. This means the tooth is fused to the underlying bone or reluctant to fall out on its own. And for children, teens, or adults with significant dental crowding, extractions can sometimes be necessary to facilitate orthodontic alignment.
Before we perform any extraction, our dentist will conduct a thorough examination using advanced digital radiography as needed. We'll discuss the best options for restoring your smile after the procedure. These may include dentures, fixed bridges, or dental implants. Implants are the most advanced treatment method available today and come closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of a natural smile.
At our dental practice, we prioritize patient comfort and care. Our skilled team uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to make every visit as stress-free as possible. We'll keep you informed throughout the procedure and provide personalized solutions for your unique dental needs. If you think you may need a tooth extraction or have any questions, don't hesitate to give us a call.
