At Remington Family Dental, our primary goal is to help you maintain and protect your natural teeth for as long as possible. However, if a tooth is damaged beyond repair, we may recommend a tooth extraction to safeguard your oral health and protect your remaining teeth.
Tooth Extractions Might Be Necessary For:
- Severe infection that has compromised the tooth and surrounding bone
- Extensive tooth decay that cannot be treated with restoration
- Overcrowded teeth that affect alignment and cannot fit properly in the mouth
- Preparation for orthodontic, restorative, or cosmetic treatment
- Advanced periodontal disease
Tooth extractions are always considered a last resort. Our dentists and team will explore all possible options to save your tooth before recommending an extraction.
If an extraction is necessary, we perform the procedure as gently as possible, using local anesthesia and sedation dentistry to minimize any pain or discomfort. After the extraction, we will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to promote proper healing and discuss your tooth replacement options to restore your smile and oral function.
