Wisdom Tooth Removal
gentle, pain-free treatment
There are many reasons a patient may need a tooth extraction. If you have advanced gum disease, a serious tooth infection, or your wisdom teeth are erupting improperly, an extraction will remove the issue and give you a fresh start with a space for a replacement tooth.
Reasons for Tooth Removal
The most common reason for tooth extractions is the improper growth of wisdom teeth. When these third molars erupt during a patient’s late teens or early 20s, extraction may be necessary if they are causing oral health problems as they grow in. Beyond this, tooth extraction is often required to prepare for an orthodontic or surgical procedure, like a dental implant. If a tooth is infected and cannot be saved by root canal therapy, or if you are suffering from advanced gum disease (periodontitis), extraction may be the beginning of your restorative care.
