What Is a Tooth Extraction?
Benefits of Timely Tooth Removal
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding or discomfort. While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, an extraction may be necessary to protect surrounding teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
Why You May Need a Tooth Extraction
Tooth extractions are sometimes recommended for the following reasons:
Severe tooth decay or damage beyond repair
Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability
Dental infection that cannot be treated with a root canal
Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
Overcrowding prior to orthodontic treatment
Broken teeth below the gum line
Trauma or injury to the mouth
When necessary, tooth extraction can provide important benefits:
Relieves pain and discomfort
Prevents the spread of infection
Protects neighboring teeth and bone
Improves overall oral health
Creates space for orthodontic treatment or restorations
Our Tooth Extraction Process
We focus on comfort, safety, and clear communication at every step:
1. Examination & Digital X-Rays
We evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures to determine the safest approach.
2. Comfortable Numbing
Local anesthesia is used to ensure a pain-free procedure.
3. Gentle Tooth Removal
The tooth is carefully removed using precise, modern techniques.
4. Post-Extraction Care
We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and minimize discomfort.
5. Tooth Replacement Planning (If Needed)
If appropriate, we discuss replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore function and appearance.
Simple vs. Surgical Extractions
Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth using local anesthesia.
Surgical extractions may be required for impacted or broken teeth and involve a more advanced approach to ensure safe removal.
