Extractions

Professional Care for Tooth Removal

While preserving your natural teeth is always our top priority, there are instances where tooth extractions become necessary to protect your overall dental health. At Springs Dentistry, our experienced team ensures that every extraction is performed with precision and care, minimizing discomfort and promoting a smooth recovery process.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Tooth extractions may be required for a variety of reasons, including:

1. Preparation for Orthodontics or Cosmetic Treatments: Sometimes, teeth need to be removed to create space for orthodontic treatments, such as braces, or for cosmetic procedures that enhance your smile.

2. Infection or Risk of Infection: Severe infections that cannot be treated with root canal therapy or antibiotics may necessitate the removal of the affected tooth to prevent the spread of infection.

3. Advanced Periodontal Disease: In cases where gum disease has caused significant damage to the surrounding bone and tissues, tooth extraction may be required to preserve the health of the remaining teeth.

4. Advanced Tooth Decay: When a tooth is too severely decayed to be restored with a filling, crown, or other treatment, extraction may be the best option to maintain oral health.

5. Impacted Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth, or other teeth that are trapped in the gums, often need to be extracted to prevent pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth.

Prioritizing Your Comfort and Health

At Springs Dentistry, we understand that the thought of a tooth extraction can be daunting. That’s why we prioritize your comfort every step of the way. Before any extraction, our dentists will thoroughly evaluate your situation, discuss all possible alternatives, and ensure you fully understand the procedure. We use advanced techniques and local anesthesia to make the process as painless as possible, and we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote a quick and smooth recovery.

Keeping Your Smile Healthy

While extractions are sometimes necessary, they are typically considered a last resort. To maintain the health and function of your teeth, we recommend practicing good oral hygiene at home and visiting our office regularly for professional cleanings and exams. This proactive approach helps to prevent the need for extractions and keeps your smile in top condition.
