Teeth Extraction
At Gregorin Dental, tooth extraction is performed with the utmost care and precision, ensuring that every step is taken to prioritize your oral health. While preserving natural teeth is always our goal, there are situations where extraction is the best option for maintaining your overall dental well-being.
WHEN IS A TOOTH EXTRACTION NECESSARY?
Tooth extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be restored. Early intervention is crucial to prevent the spread of infection and further complications. Common reasons for tooth extraction include:
- Severe Decay or Infection: When a tooth is beyond repair.
- Extensive Trauma: Damage that cannot be restored.
- Overcrowding: Removal of teeth for orthodontic treatment or due to extra teeth (supernumerary teeth).
TOOTH EXTRACTION PROCEDURES
There are two primary methods for tooth extraction, both performed in our office:
- Simple Extraction: Used for visible and easily accessible teeth. A local anesthetic is administered to numb the area, and the tooth is gently removed without the need for surgical intervention.
- Surgical Extraction: Required for teeth that are not fully visible or accessible, such as those broken at the gum line or impacted. This procedure may involve making an incision in the gum or removing bone to access the tooth. Sutures may be needed to close the area afterward.
