When It’s Time to Say Goodbye to a Tooth

We get it, no one wants to lose a tooth. But in certain cases, an extraction is the best way to protect your oral health and prevent future complications. Whether it’s due to deep decay, gum disease, or a stubborn wisdom tooth, removing a problem tooth can help you feel better and get your smile back on track.

Our goal is to make the process as straightforward and comfortable as possible. We’ll walk you through every step and support your recovery so you can return to your daily routine without stress.

Benefits of a Dental Extraction

Removing a tooth when necessary can offer several benefits:

  • Helps stop the spread of infection
  • Prevents damage to nearby teeth
  • Creates space for orthodontic or restorative care
  • Supports healing in cases of advanced gum disease
  • Addresses functional or bite issues caused by overcrowding

After an extraction, we’ll help you explore options to fill the space, if needed, such as a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture.

Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

Tooth extractions are typically recommended when there’s no other way to restore a tooth or protect surrounding structures. You may need an extraction if:

  • A tooth is too damaged or decayed to repair
  • There’s an infection deep inside the tooth that can’t be resolved
  • Gum disease has caused the tooth to become loose
  • Your mouth is overcrowded, or a tooth hasn’t erupted properly
  • A wisdom tooth is causing issues

While extractions are often considered a last resort, they can be important to improve your dental health and comfort.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Wisdom teeth are the most commonly extracted teeth, often because they are impacted, misaligned, or lack sufficient room to erupt properly. Removing them can help prevent future crowding, decay, or jaw discomfort.

If you’re experiencing pressure at the back of your mouth or have been told you may need to have your wisdom teeth removed, we’re here to help.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Tooth extractions are typically performed under local anesthesia to prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure. Once the area is numb, your dentist will gently loosen and remove the tooth. In some cases, a few stitches may be placed to support healing.

We’ll also provide clear aftercare instructions and be available to answer any questions you may have after your visit.

Recovery & Healing

Most patients recover from an extraction in just a few days. During this time, we recommend eating soft foods, avoiding straws, and following your post-care guide closely to support smooth healing.

If anything feels off, our team is just a call away.
