Extraction

Removing a tooth is sometimes necessary to preserve the health of your mouth and remaining teeth. With modern dental techniques, it should be a comfortable and effective procedure.

Generally, we recommend treatment that will save teeth, but when a tooth is so damaged that it cannot be saved, extraction is the best choice.

Extractions might be the best for:

• teeth that are fractured below the gum line
• severe tooth decay
• advanced periodontal disease
• primary teeth that are too crowded or not falling our properly
• an impacted or infected wisdom tooth

During the procedure, you will feel pressure when the tooth is removed, but you shouldn’t feel any pain at all. We will numb the area to keep you comfortable
