While keeping our patients' natural teeth is always a priority, there are certain situations where tooth extraction becomes necessary. As dental professionals, we at Green Ridge Dental Care strive to provide the most comfortable and effective care possible. Thanks to advances in dentistry, extractions can now be performed with greater precision and less discomfort than ever before.
A tooth may need extraction if it is severely damaged by injury or decay. In such cases, the tooth is deemed non-restorable and must be removed to prevent further damage to surrounding teeth and tissues. Another common reason for extraction is a problematic wisdom tooth that is impacted or poorly positioned. Extracting this tooth can help avoid complications like infection, cysts, and issues affecting adjacent teeth.
In some cases, we may recommend extracting a primary tooth if it's ankylosed (fused to the bone) or over-retained and reluctant to fall out on its own. For children, teens, or adults with significant dental crowding, extractions are often necessary to facilitate orthodontic alignment.
At our office, we begin the extraction process by conducting a thorough examination. We use advanced digital radiography as needed to determine the most effective and conservative approach to treatment. Our skilled dentist delivers precise and gentle care throughout the procedure, keeping you informed and relaxed every step of the way.
If a tooth needs extraction, we'll discuss your options for rebuilding a complete, beautiful smile. These may include dentures, fixed bridges, or dental implants. As the most advanced treatment method available today, dental implants come closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of a natural smile.
At Green Ridge Dental Care, patient care and comfort are our top priorities. Our state-of-the-art practice uses the latest technology and treatment methods to make every visit a positive experience. When you come to us for extractions, you can expect personalized, compassionate treatment from our highly trained dentist and professional team.
