Tooth Extractions

It may be determined that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

A simple tooth extraction in a healthy individual can be very easy. However, more challenging extractions often require the experience and skill of an oral surgeon. Many factors may be involved when planning a tooth extraction such as your state of health and current medications. Infection risk, blood thinners and poor healing are typical considerations with complex medical histories. Dental anxiety or apprehension about the procedure may influence the choice of sedation in addition to local anesthetic injections.

Dental professionals today are concerned about saving bone as well as trying to save teeth. Tooth loss can have an impact on your chewing ability and bite but bone loss may have an impact on your overall health. Dr. Williams will discuss tooth replacement alternatives along with bone preservation.
