Extractions

Sometimes, a tooth needs to be removed to protect your overall oral health. Whether due to severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or wisdom tooth complications, our gentle extraction procedures ensure a smooth, pain-free experience with minimal discomfort.

Why Choose Tooth Extraction?

Relieve Severe Tooth Pain – Eliminates discomfort from deep decay or infection.
Prevent Further Oral Health Issues – Stops infections from spreading.
Make Room for Orthodontic Treatment – Creates space for properly aligned teeth.
Quick & Safe Procedure – Expert care ensures minimal discomfort and fast healing.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

🦷 Severe Decay or Damage – When a tooth is beyond repair, removal prevents pain and infection.
🦷 Gum Disease – Advanced periodontal disease can loosen teeth, requiring extraction.
🦷 Overcrowding – Some extractions are needed to prepare for braces or orthodontic treatment.

How Often Should You Visit the Dentist?

For most patients, a dental visit every six months is recommended. However, if you have a history of gum disease or other dental concerns, we may suggest more frequent visits to maintain optimal oral health.

How to Care for Your Mouth After an Extraction

After your tooth extraction, stick to soft foods, gently rinse with salt water to keep the area clean, use ice packs to reduce swelling, and follow our aftercare instructions for a smooth and quick recovery.
