Tooth Extractions

A tooth removal (extraction) may be recommended for one of many reasons, including:

• not enough space available for developing wisdom teeth
• additional space is required to prepare for orthodontics (braces)
• a tooth is broken and/or severely decayed
• a tooth is infected and causing pain
• severe gum disease has caused breakdown of the supporting bone around a tooth

Many tooth extractions are simple, and can be performed by our dentists at an ordinary office visit. These procedures are completed with localized numbing with local anesthetic, often in a shorter time period than most patients expect.

If you believe you may need to schedule a dental extraction, we would be happy to assess your situation and create a treatment plan for your smile. We understand that removing a tooth is not one of the more enjoyable treatments within dentistry, but we are always determined to make our patients’ experiences as enjoyable and stress-free as possible!
