Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

There are various reasons why a tooth extraction might be necessary. In some cases, a tooth may be too damaged to be saved by restorative treatments like fillings or crowns. In other instances, a tooth might need to be removed to make room for orthodontic treatments or to prevent complications with impacted teeth. Whatever the reason, our team approaches each extraction with the utmost care and precision, ensuring that your oral health and comfort are our top priorities.

The Tooth Extraction Process

Before the extraction, our dentists will carefully evaluate your situation and discuss all available options with you. If an extraction is the best course of action, they will explain the procedure in detail, addressing any concerns you may have. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure the process is as smooth and pain-free as possible.

During the procedure, the area around the tooth will be numbed to minimize discomfort. The extraction itself is performed with precision, and our team takes great care to preserve the surrounding tissues. After the tooth is removed, you will receive clear instructions on how to care for the extraction site, including:

  • Keeping the area clean and avoiding certain foods
  • Managing any discomfort with prescribed or over-the-counter medications
  • Monitoring for signs of infection or complications

We are committed to providing compassionate, expert care for all your dental needs.
