Whenever possible we want to preserve healthy teeth, but there are times that teeth are not healthy and need to be extracted. Our goal whenever possible is to keep teeth, but sometimes that’s not an option. And in that case oral surgery is the best way to help our patients get out of pain. And we always work with our patients to make a plan for how we replace that function if needed. We always strive to help our patients make the best choice for their oral health, especially when it comes to tooth removal. Sometimes that is a difficult choice to make, but we do our best to make sure that we give you all of the information and all of the options, not only for whether or not a tooth needs to be removed but also how it can be replaced functionally in the future.
Rely on Our Caring Team for Your Surgery
You may have a great at-home oral hygiene routine, brushing and flossing daily and limiting sweets and snacks that can wreak havoc with your smile. You may also keep up with your dental cleanings and exams every six months to help us catch small problems before they worsen. Even so, you could one day find yourself in the position of needing dental surgery.
You may experience a toothache or other dental emergency. If we’re not able to save your damaged or diseased tooth with a tooth filling, inlay, onlay, or crown, we may need to remove your tooth. Tooth extraction is the type of oral surgery we focus on here, and you can count on us to do it comfortably, quickly, and efficiently.
For your tooth removal, our team will:
- Apply a topical anesthetic and then a local anesthetic to completely numb the area around your problem tooth
- Remove the tooth to protect the health of your other teeth and gums
- Provide you with complete aftercare instructions to ensure a quick and comfortable recovery
