When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While we always strive to save your natural teeth, an extraction may be necessary when:
- A tooth is severely decayed or infected beyond repair
- Advanced gum disease has compromised tooth stability
- A tooth is broken or fractured beyond restoration
- Overcrowding is preventing proper alignment
- Wisdom teeth are impacted or causing discomfort
Dr. Sean McAnarney will carefully evaluate your situation and recommend extraction only when it is the best option for your health.
The Tooth Extraction Process
- Consultation: We will perform a thorough exam and take X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure the area is numb and you feel no pain.
- Extraction: The tooth is gently and carefully removed to minimize discomfort.
- Post-Extraction Care: Instructions are provided to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
If needed, we will discuss options for replacing the extracted tooth, such as bridges, dentures or implants, to restore the function and appearance of your smile.
Benefits of Tooth Extractions
- Relief from pain caused by infection, damage or overcrowding
- Prevention of further complications, such as spreading infection
- Improved oral health and preparation for future restorative care
Gentle, Compassionate Care
Dr. Sean McAnarney and our team understand that extractions can feel intimidating. We provide a calming, supportive environment and offer sedation options, such as oral conscious sedation, to help you feel relaxed throughout your procedure.
