Get Rid of Wisdom Teeth & Other Problem Teeth

Tooth removal is something we take seriously. We want you to understand why you would benefit from having a tooth extracted. In some cases, this is in lieu of restorative dentistry. In other cases, it will make restorative treatment easier. Digital X-rays and intraoral cameras give us a better sense of the conditions in your mouth, which makes it easier to determine when removal may be in your best interest. Taking out a tooth can help if you are experiencing:

• Severe tooth decay
• Abscessed or infected teeth
• Crowded or poorly positioned teeth
• Deeply broken or cracked teeth
• Impacted teeth
• Advanced gum disease

Infection in your tooth could spread to other parts of your mouth. In many cases, a root canal can save the tooth, but not if the tooth can no longer support a crown. Crowded teeth can complicate orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign. Extracting a tooth or a few teeth can make it easier to straighten your smile. If you are already missing several teeth, taking out the few you have left could allow you to get dental implants to support strong, secure replacement teeth.

Most people’s third molars will erupt between the ages of 17 and 21. You probably know these teeth better as wisdom teeth. Sometimes these teeth do not have enough space to come in correctly. As a result, they can become impacted. This can increase your risk of tooth decay and gum infections. These teeth also can press into existing teeth. This can change your bite and your smile. It also can be painful.

When you visit us for routine care, we will track any changes with your wisdom teeth. We can identify potential problems, and we can act to prevent you from dealing with harmful consequences.

• Gladly provide a pillow and blankets to help you feel cozy.
