Tooth removal is sometimes the best way to protect your smile and overall health. Extracting a problematic tooth often brings immediate relief and prevents future issues.
At West County Dental, you can get safe, gentle extractions that help you feel better fast. Modern techniques make the process much easier than it was in the past. Our gentle approach means less discomfort during and after your procedure. You should be able to return to your normal activities quickly.
Our team uses advanced technology and sedation options to make extractions comfortable. You’ll also receive clear instructions for a smooth recovery.
Here are situations when tooth removal makes sense:
- Too Much Damage – Some teeth break down so badly that fixing them isn’t possible. Taking out these teeth ends your pain and keeps other teeth safe from spreading decay.
- Wisdom Teeth Problems – Wisdom teeth can get trapped under gums or come in at odd angles. Pulling these teeth stops jaw pain and keeps your other teeth from getting pushed out of line.
- Making Room for Orthodontics –Crowded mouths make it hard to straighten teeth properly. Removing certain teeth gives the rest of your smile the space it needs to line up correctly.
- Gum Disease Effects – When gums pull away from teeth and bones weaken in advanced stage of disease, teeth can become loose. Extracting these teeth protects your jawbone and sets the stage for replacements like implants.
- Stopping Serious Infections – Sometimes root canals can’t fix deep infections. Removing badly infected teeth shields your body from harmful bacteria that could affect your overall health.
