Tooth Extractions: Gentle Care for a Healthy Mouth

When a tooth can't be saved, our oral surgery team is here to provide comfortable and professional extraction.

Tooth Extractions

What is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the mouth. While our primary goal is always to save a natural tooth, a tooth extraction may be necessary to protect the health of your smile and prevent future problems.
Our oral surgery team performs this procedure with a focus on your comfort and a gentle, patient-centered approach.

The Extraction Process

We perform two main types of extractions:

    Simple Extraction: This is performed on a tooth that is visible and has fully erupted. After a local anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort, a general dentist uses a specialized instrument to gently loosen and remove the tooth.
    Surgical Extraction: This is needed for a tooth that is not easily accessible, such as an impacted wisdom tooth or a tooth that has broken off at the gum line. This procedure is performed by a skilled oral surgeon who makes a small incision in the gum to access and remove the tooth.

When is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

A tooth may need to be extracted for several reasons, including:

    Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that don't have enough room to erupt can cause pain, infection, and damage to other teeth.
    Severe Decay or Damage: A tooth that is too decayed, broken, or loose to be saved by a filling or crown.
    Orthodontic Treatment: To create the necessary space for teeth to be properly aligned during orthodontic treatment.
    Advanced Gum Disease: When a tooth has become severely loosened due to bone loss from periodontal disease.
