If damaged or misaligned teeth cannot be corrected with cosmetic or orthodontic procedures, a tooth may need to be removed from the mouth. Some cases in which a tooth might require extraction are if it is blocking other teeth from coming in, does not leave space for orthodontic work, or has deteriorated beyond repair.
Extraction procedures are also performed for wisdom teeth if they become impacted and are causing significant pain or discomfort. During the procedure, your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb your mouth, so you will not feel any pain during the extraction. Always remember that our doctors will only recommend an extraction when there is too much damage for the tooth to be repaired or it has to be removed as a last resort.
Follow your doctor’s recommendations for a healthy and beautiful smile!
Typically, when conservative treatments like fillings or root canals fail, tooth extraction becomes the necessary option. A tooth extraction involves carefully removing the damaged tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This relieves pain, prevents infection spread, and allows the surrounding tissues to heal properly..
Tooth extractions are a straightforward and effective treatment that can provide immediate relief. There are different types of extractions, such as simple or surgical, that our doctors can perform for you. One of our doctors will complete a clinical examination, use radiographs and your symptoms to help you decide the best approach for you.
