Tooth Removal
Tooth removal may be necessary when a tooth becomes severely damaged, decayed, or infected beyond repair. If the tooth cannot be restored through treatments like fillings or root canals, extraction becomes the best solution to prevent the spread of infection or further complications. Additionally, wisdom teeth that cause overcrowding or pain are often removed to prevent misalignment or discomfort.
Leaving a problematic tooth untreated can lead to chronic pain, infection, or more extensive dental procedures in the future. Removing the tooth allows for better oral health, reducing the risk of additional damage and ensuring the overall well-being of your smile.
Methods of Tooth Removal
Our team conducts a thorough evaluation using X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth. After confirming the need for removal, we numb the area with local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable. Post-extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
