Tooth Extractions

Teeth should be saved whenever possible, but sometimes a tooth extraction is a necessity. Tooth extractions are recommended for many reasons, including; severe trauma, decay, periodontal disease, crowded teeth, broken teeth, preparation for orthodontic treatment, or prior to undergoing radiation therapy in the head/neck area. There are two types of tooth extractions: Simple and surgical. Simple extractions are usually recommended for teeth that you can see and only require local anesthesia. If a tooth is impacted or severely broken, surgical extractions may be required.

Experts for Extractions

Dentists are well equipped to handle routine dental extractions. A patient may need a tooth removed due to decay and disease, in preparation for orthodontic treatment, to address teeth located in a fracture line, when its immediate to “fix” an impacted wisdom tooth, and sometimes it’s necessary as a preventative measure. In less common instances, teeth extraction may be recommended for patients undergoing radiation therapy in the head/neck area.

There are two types of tooth extractions: Simple and surgical. Simple extractions are usually recommended for teeth that you can see and only require local anesthesia. If a tooth can’t be seen (often wisdom teeth), surgical extractions may be required. This usually means patients get an incision and the healing process may take a little longer.

For all your teeth extractions and dental-surgical needs, contact Oak Hills Dentistry and connect with your local dental professionals.
