Tooth Extractions
Our number one goal is to save your natural teeth. Our office believes in preserving your teeth whenever possible. We do not want to extract your teeth and only consider it a last resort. If you have damaged or painful teeth, our preferred treatment is restoration. We can restore and preserve teeth with crowns, veneers, or root canal therapy.
However, there will be cases where extraction is necessary due to damage or decay. The good news is that with advancements in dental tech and anesthesia, our dentists can perform a safe and comfortable extraction. Reasons a tooth needs to be pulled out.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars to arrive in our lifetime. These molars generally develop during our late teens and early twenties. Our wisdom teeth come out during one’s transition time from child to adulthood, a time when we’re wiser. Hence the name wisdom teeth.
Our mouths can’t accommodate wisdom teeth for many patients, so extractions are needed. Wisdom teeth are your third molars that grow out during your later teen years. The issue with not having enough space is impaction. With insufficient room to grow, your wisdom teeth can grow sideways and impact nearby teeth. This tooth impaction and crowding can be pretty painful. When this is evident on X-rays, wisdom teeth removal is warranted. Our dentists can help with simple extractions. If the wisdom teeth are impacted in bone or close to nerves, these complicated cases can be referred to an oral surgeon.
