Extractions

Extractions

Extractions are commonly known as pulling teeth. We can perform tooth extractions quickly and with minimal discomfort to treat a host of dental conditions, including advanced gum disease. Patients suffering from broken, cracked, and/or excessively decayed or damaged teeth (that aren’t good candidates for the alternative treatment – root canal) will benefit from this often simple and straightforward procedure. We may recommend extractions in these situations:

- When wisdom teeth, or third molars, emerge as non-functional, and/or misaligned. 
- If a candidate for dentures only has a few worn or compromised remaining teeth on an arch, we may recommend extractions so a full denture can be placed. 
- Patients may have impacted teeth positioned to emerge out of alignment, or teeth that block others from erupting. 
- Orthodontic patients with overcrowding that require more space along the jaw line to properly align the teeth. 

Whatever brings you to us for an extraction, expect to have a thorough examination, including X-rays, before we determine a course of action. You may feel apprehensive, so we dedicate ourselves to answering all of your questions before we proceed. Plan to discuss with us your medical history, any past extractions and associated problems with excessive bleeding, and any medications you take.
