What Are Tooth Extractions?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While we always try to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, there are times when removing a tooth is the best way to protect your overall health. Common reasons include severe decay, advanced gum disease, broken teeth beyond repair, or making space for orthodontic treatment.
How the Tooth Removal Process Works
We’ll begin with a thorough examination, using digital imaging to see the tooth and surrounding bone clearly. Dr. Vahan will explain why extraction is necessary and what to expect during the procedure. Depending on your needs, we may recommend a simple extraction (for visible teeth) or a surgical extraction (for teeth that are broken, impacted, or below the gumline). Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable, and we provide clear aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
