Tooth extractions, the removal of a tooth from its socket, is a procedure our dentist and team aim to avoid whenever possible. However, certain conditions may necessitate this treatment to restore your smile to optimal health and function. Rest assured, we provide excellent tooth replacement options following an extraction, ensuring your smile remains healthy and beautiful.
There are several reasons why a tooth extraction might be necessary. One common cause is severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and the surrounding bone structure. When an infection cannot be effectively treated with antibiotics or root canal therapy, removing the tooth may be the best solution to prevent the spread of infection and maintain overall oral health.
Serious decay is another reason for tooth extraction. When decay has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making successful restoration impossible, extraction becomes the most viable option. Additionally, tooth extractions are often required to alleviate crowding. If there are too many teeth for the mouth to accommodate properly, removing one or more teeth can create the necessary space for optimal alignment and function.
Our experienced dentist will use great care and skill during tooth extractions to ensure your experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. We understand that the idea of having a tooth pulled can be daunting, so we prioritize your comfort and provide detailed post-treatment care instructions. These instructions will help you manage any discomfort and promote proper healing, ensuring a smooth recovery.
