We offer simple and surgical tooth extractions at our dental office. Both procedures can be done in just one appointment.
Simple tooth extraction is a procedure that is performed on a tooth that is visible and accessible. Our dentist will numb the area around the tooth and then remove the tooth with dental forceps.
Surgical tooth extraction is a procedure performed on a tooth that is not visible or accessible. The dentist will make an incision in the gums to expose the tooth. The tooth is then removed with dental forceps.
In many cases, you will need to have your extracted tooth replaced to maintain your dental health. We offer several treatment options for tooth replacement, including dental implants, full or partial dentures, crowns, and bridges. Our dentist will provide recommendations for tooth replacement when coming up with your treatment plan.
We know that tooth extractions aren’t the most fun, so we’ll do our best to help you prevent the need for extractions by providing routine care to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Patients should visit our dentist at least twice per year to maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
Crowding occurs when there is not enough space in the mouth for all teeth. If your teeth are crowded, they are more likely to get plaque build-up, leading to periodontal disease. Tooth extractions may be necessary to create enough space for teeth to align correctly.
Tooth extraction is a standard part of pediatric dentistry. In addition, children may need to have a primary tooth removed if their permanent teeth start to come in early.
Tooth decay can damage the structure of a tooth and lead to infection. In addition, tooth extractions may be necessary to remove teeth that are too damaged to be repaired through tooth-colored fillings or root canal therapy.
