Tooth Extraction in Denver, CO
Safe and Comfortable Tooth Extractions for Lasting Oral Health
For severe tooth pain or when a broken tooth needs to be fixed, the most effective and safest means of alleviating that discomfort while keeping your mouth healthy usually requires an extraction. Regardless of whether it is due to advanced decay, infection, injury, or overcrowding, these problems can be avoided by extracting the tooth.
An extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in the bone. Depending on your particular case, your dentist might recommend an easy extraction for visible teeth or a surgical extraction in cases of impacted ones with great deterioration. Techniques are modern, and there are many sedation options, keeping the procedure safe, efficient, and virtually painless.
When is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
In some cases, a tooth extraction is necessary to help protect and support your overall wellness. While it can be a scary thought, there are many important reasons why your dentist may recommend extracting a tooth.
Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction Are as Follows
Advanced Tooth Decay
If a tooth is decayed so significantly that it cannot be saved by a filling or a crown, your dentist may decide to extract it rather than allowing the infection to spread.
Periodontal (Gum) Disease
Severe gum disease can lead to loss of the teeth’s support structures, which makes tooth extraction necessary if the surrounding teeth and gums are to remain healthy.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth often only partially break through the surface of the gum, a process the dentist refers to as eruption, or fail to erupt at all.
Dental Overcrowding
When teeth are too crowded, especially before orthodontic treatment, extractions might be necessary in order to make enough space for proper alignment.
Broken or Fractured Teeth
A tooth that is broken below the gum line, or a tooth that can not be repaired, will need to have an extraction.
Infection or Abscess
An infected tooth that has not resolved with root canal therapy may have to be extracted before the infection can spread.
