At Silverado Dental Wellness, we offer tooth extractions when it is necessary and recommended by one of our dentists. Tooth extractions are considered a last resort but may be an ideal treatment option in some cases.
Request AppointmentAre You Looking for Tooth Extraction Near You?
While adult teeth are permanent and intended to last the rest of your life, there are several reasons why seeking a tooth extraction in Silverado, AB is necessary.
If you have extensive tooth decay that has left your tooth irreparable, severe gum disease, or a badly fractured tooth, you may require a tooth extraction.
Additionally, teeth may require removal for orthodontic purposes.
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they have the potential to negatively affect other teeth in your mouth or are seen as a potential risk of infection.
How Are Erupted Teeth Removed?
Tooth extraction is sometimes referred to as having a tooth “pulled.” This is an inaccurate term, as our dentist doesn’t “pull” out teeth to remove them.
If this were the case, it could cause damage to neighbouring teeth and bone. Rather, our dentist numbs the area around the tooth, and then they “luxate” it.
This means that our dentist wiggles the tooth from one side to the other until it has loosened, and then they gently lift it out.
In some scenarios, such as a tooth that has numerous roots going in alternate directions, our dentist will cut the tooth into two or more pieces, to safely remove it.
