Reasons to Undergo a Tooth Extraction
If you have a serious infection or teeth with extensive decay, you may need to have those teeth removed permanently. Other reasons to undergo a tooth extraction include:
Severe gum disease and bone loss
Orthodontic treatment preparation
Fractured teeth
Cosmetic concerns
Crowded teeth
Types of Tooth Extractions
Our doctors will perform either a surgical or simple tooth extraction depending on whether the tooth is erupted or sitting below the gum line, and the overall condition of the tooth and its surrounding socket. The simple extraction technique helps us remove erupted teeth fairly easily. The surgical technique is used when we need to perform a tooth extraction below the gum line or section a tooth to allow for removal. Extractions can be performed under local anesthesia so that the area being treated is completely numb throughout the procedure and for several hours afterwards. We will provide you with post- operative instructions to ensure proper healing of the tissues following a tooth extraction.
