Tooth Extraction at Brunswick Dental Clinic: Gentle and Caring Removal
Sometimes, tooth extraction is the best solution for your oral health. At Brunswick Dental Clinic, we provide safe, comfortable, and efficient tooth extraction procedures with a focus on your well-being.
If it has to go, it has to go
Sometimes a tooth is so badly damaged that its removal is the only option. This treatment is most commonly done under local anesthesia and with good technique, it is usually a tolerable experience.
However, if you are anxious, we can discuss alternative options such as oral sedatives or sleep dentistry. Let our dental practitioners know, and they will discuss with you the appropriate strategies to put in place.
Tooth extraction can sometimes be paired with an implant placement or an immediate partial denture. Ask your dentist if this is possible for you. However, it’s often better to leave the socket to heal for your comfort and treatment success.
Why Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction, the removal of a tooth, may be necessary for various reasons, including:
Severe Decay or Infection
When a tooth is too damaged to be saved by a filling or root canal.
Impacted Teeth
Particularly wisdom teeth that are trapped beneath the gums or bone.
Overcrowding
To prepare for orthodontic treatment and create space for proper alignment.
Fractured or Broken Teeth
That cannot be repaired.
Gum Disease
When severe gum disease has compromised the supporting bone and ligaments.
Preparation for Dentures
To create a stable foundation for dentures.
Reasons for tooth extraction
- Severe tooth decay
- Severe gum disease with extensive bone loss
- Vertical root fractures
- Traumatic injuries
- Orthodontic reasons
