Tooth Extractions
Sometimes the most direct path to better dental health is removing a tooth that can no longer be saved. It's not the first option, but when it's the right one, it's handled with care and skill.
When saving the tooth isn't possible.
When an Extraction Makes Sense
We exhaust every option before recommending an extraction. When one is necessary, it's typically because the tooth is too damaged or infected to restore, or because it's creating problems for the surrounding teeth and bone.
Common reasons include severe decay, advanced infection, significant bone loss from gum disease, or crowding that can't be addressed any other way.
Comfortable from start to finish.
What to Expect
The area is completely numbed before anything begins. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the procedure is. Afterward, we'll walk you through recovery and what to expect as things heal. Nothing gets left to guesswork.
The tooth is gone. What comes next matters.
Replacing What Was Removed
Leaving a gap after an extraction affects more than appearance. The surrounding teeth shift, bite alignment changes, and bone loss begins in the empty space. We'll be sure you're aware of your replacement options and have a clear picture of what comes next.
Options include dental implants, bridges, and implant-supported solutions depending on your situation.
Worth knowing.
Bone Grafting After Extraction
If an implant is part of the plan, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction preserves the bone needed for a successful implant later. It's a straightforward addition to the procedure that makes a meaningful difference in outcomes. We'll let you know if it applies to your situation.
Comfort is always available.
Sedation Is an Option
Extractions understandably cause some anxiety. Sedation is available and works well for this type of procedure. We'll talk through your options and decide together what makes the most sense.
