Dental extractions may be necessary for various reasons, such as extensive tooth decay, impacted or painful wisdom teeth, advanced periodontal disease, or over-retained baby teeth. In some cases, extractions are performed to create space for orthodontic treatments like braces, especially when there is severe crowding. At our office, we offer most extractions on-site, helping to minimize the time and cost associated with external referrals. By keeping the process in-house, we ensure a smoother, more efficient experience for our patients. Whether you’re dealing with a problematic tooth or preparing for orthodontic work, we are here to provide comfortable and professional care tailored to your needs. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring you understand every step while prioritizing your oral health. If you think you may need an extraction, contact us today for a consultation. We’re here to help restore your smile and overall dental health.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are your third molars, located in the very back of your mouth. They usually begin to appear between the ages of 16-25. Wisdom teeth often grow unnoticed, but can begin to cause problems as they develop. Some wisdom teeth are impacted and can affect the other teeth in your mouth. Because wisdom teeth are so far back in your mouth they are often difficult to keep clean. This makes it very easy for them to develop large cavities which, in turn, can become painful. While we do extract wisdom teeth in office, we will recommend an oral surgeon for more complicated procedures.
