Dental Extractions
What is a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extractions may become necessary for several reasons including severe tooth decay or infection, tooth damage due to breakage, severe gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, to make space for orthodontic treatment, or during childhood, when baby teeth don’t fall out quickly enough to create space for emerging adult teeth.
Tooth Extractions Can Be Simple or Surgical
Simple extractions can be accomplished with visible, easily accessible teeth. They require no incisions and need only local anesthetic. Simple extractions do not require an incision and are performed under local anesthetic.
Surgical extractions require an oral surgeon and are required for more complex or serious situations, such as:
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Entangled or multiple curved roots
- Impacted teeth
Wisdom teeth - Overly large sinuses
- Teeth or bone infections
Dental Depot’s general dentists are experienced in a variety of tooth extractions.
