Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions may be necessary for a variety of reasons, including severe decay, advanced gum disease, or damage that cannot be repaired. In some cases, teeth are also removed due to misalignment or in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Our priority is always to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, and we will discuss all available alternatives before recommending extraction.

The Tooth Removal Process
Our team prioritizes your comfort and safety throughout the tooth extraction procedure. From anesthesia to aftercare, we take every step to ensure a smooth experience. In cases where a tooth cannot be removed in one piece due to root complexity, we may use sectioning techniques for a more controlled procedure. Postoperative care instructions are always provided to help you heal properly.
here are several reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted. Common causes include severe decay, advanced periodontal disease, or damage that cannot be repaired. In some cases, teeth are removed due to poor positioning in the mouth, such as with impacted canines, or as part of a broader orthodontic treatment plan. While extractions can be necessary, removing even one tooth may affect your ability to chew, your jaw joint, and the alignment of surrounding teeth. That’s why we explore all available alternatives before proceeding and also discuss replacement options to restore your dental function and appearance.
To ensure your comfort, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the tooth, jaw bone, and surrounding gums. You will feel pressure during the procedure as the tooth is gently rocked to widen the socket, but no pain. If you feel discomfort at any time, let our team know immediately.

Sectioning a Tooth

Some teeth are more difficult to remove due to strong anchorage in the socket or curved roots. In such cases, the tooth may be sectioned into smaller parts. Each section is removed individually, which allows for a safer and more controlled extraction process.

After Tooth Extraction

Postoperative care is essential for healing and comfort. Detailed home care instructions can be found on our After Extractions page. Following these guidelines will help minimize discomfort and support proper healing.
