Tooth Removal

All the information you need about having a tooth removed

When a tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair, we may recommend its extraction. There are some reasons you may need to remove a tooth in addition to damage or dental decay:

A Wisdom tooth (also known as an eighth tooth or a third molar) is removed if it is decayed, infected, or if there isn’t enough room in the mouth for it.

What Type of Tooth Removal Will You Need?

The following are the two most common types of extractions:

A simple extraction – This procedure involves the removal of an erupted tooth in a single piece. As soon as the tooth is sufficiently numbed, it is loosened with an elevator, followed by removal with a pair of dental forceps.
A surgical extraction – If your tooth has been broken, a more complex procedure will be performed. It may be necessary to make a small incision or to cut the tooth into smaller pieces, then use an elevator to loosen the pieces of tooth, finally, remove the pieces with dental forceps. Occasionally, stitches may also be required.

We will discuss the best technique after taking dental X-rays and examining your mouth. Our team is dedicated to offering you a pain-free experience.

Removes the Dental Issue Itself: There are instances in which the tooth itself is the problem, and removal is the best solution. Not removing the tooth could spread the infection to your surrounding teeth, gums, and body. Even a simple cavity can cause problems, so treating the cavity can help get your oral health back on track.
Pain Reliever: A natural tooth can be removed to relieve your pain. When left untreated, most dental problems begin with a small amount of discomfort, which progressively worsens over time. Hence, tooth removal reduces pain and allows you to start fresh with a replacement.
Enhances Oral Health: A tooth removal can boost your oral health and prolong your teeth's life. Since so many dental problems can affect your adjacent teeth, it's wise to have those teeth removed and avoid the risk of being affected by the dental problem.
