If a tooth is diseased and cannot be treated, it may be necessary to extract the tooth. This can occur in cases of infection, cracks in the tooth, or untreated cavities. X-rays, anesthesia, and hygiene supplies are included. We believe that tooth extraction should be a last resort, and our recommendation is to try to keep your natural teeth if the tooth can be repaired. If the tooth can no longer be repaired or you do not wish to keep it, extraction is an option.

In some cases, the tooth may have large or curved roots, or it may be firmly embedded in the bone, making it somewhat more difficult and time-consuming to remove. This is most often the case with molars. Complicated tooth extractions with us include:  

• Additional X-rays if needed  
• Anesthesia  
• Extraction of the tooth  
• Follow-up if necessary  
• Hygiene supplies  

Sometimes a tooth must be removed to avoid infection and pain. Other times, a tooth may be extracted in connection with orthodontic treatment.

Before and after a tooth extraction, certain precautions should be taken: eat well before your appointment, and after the tooth is removed, it is very important not to eat or drink for 2-3 hours. After the tooth is extracted, swelling in the area is common, and some may experience pain and slight bleeding in the area where the tooth was removed. We will provide you with bite compresses and pain-relieving tablets to help stop any bleeding.

In some cases, it may be desirable to have a replacement after a tooth is removed. This could be an implant, a bridge, or a denture.
