Extractions
OUR DENTISTS MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PRESERVE YOUR NATURAL TEETH. HOWEVER, EXTRACTIONS ARE NECESSARY WHEN DECAY HAS MADE THE TOOTH UNSALVAGEABLE OR WHEN YOU HAVE AN ADVANCED PERIODONTAL DISEASE. WHEN A TOOTH IS MALFORMED, DAMAGED, IMPACTED OR INGROWN, DIFFERENT PROCEDURES ARE USED, BUT ALL EXTRACTIONS ARE CONSIDERED SURGERY. DEPENDING ON WHICH TOOTH IS REMOVED, WE CAN OFFER YOU A REPLACEMENT IN THE FORM OF A DENTAL IMPLANT OR ORAL PROSTHETIC.
FAQ
Do I need my tooth extracted?
Although all efforts are made to save a tooth, some however become unrestorable due to advanced decay, excessive mobility or other oral pathology. Only the dentist can determine if a tooth is unrestorable after an appropriate clinical examination is carried out.
What should I expect during an extraction procedure?
All extractions are carried out under local anesthesia, which can sometimes be combined with sedative medication delivered orally,intra-venously or via inhalation. These medications when successfully administered provide a completely pain free experience during the extraction process. Extraction procedures vary depending from patient to patient and your dentist will provide you with a summary of the procedure based on your medical history and the tooth involved.
