Tooth Extractions

Extractions are done as a way to preserve your oral health and remove problematic teeth. In some cases, you may need to have teeth removed because of advanced gum disease. In other cases, you'll need an extraction because you have an impacted wisdom tooth. We always perform extractions in our office in a safe, comfortable and relaxed manner at your own convenience.

Extractions are often performed when there is no other way to save a tooth. Some teeth are simply an issue to your oral health, so it's best to remove them before they're allowed to cause issues with shifting, infection and intra-oral damage. Some of the reasons you may want or need an extraction include:

• Impacted wisdom teeth
• Loose or severely decayed teeth
• Teeth that are cracked or broken below the gum line
• Stubborn baby teeth
• You're looking to avoid having additional treatment done

With the help of an examination, we can determine if you might need an extraction. Most patients who need an extraction can and should have the procedure done. Leaving a problem tooth intact can cause issues down the road with infections and abscesses. We will take x-rays to help in further identifying the need for an extraction.

We can discuss our Tooth Extraction options with you during your consultation. Once you're comfortable, we will loosen and remove the tooth. We provide our patients with important aftercare instructions that must be followed.

If you think you might need a tooth extraction, call our office today and we will be happy to get you in for an appointment.
