Tooth removal isn’t just about fixing an immediate problem. It’s often an important step toward better overall health. Using our advanced CT scanning and 3D imaging technology, we can see exactly how a problem tooth affects surrounding structures and plan the safest extraction possible.
Many patients worry about tooth removal, but modern techniques have made the process more comfortable than ever. Removing teeth is a good idea in these situations:
- Severe Decay or Damage — When tooth structure breaks down beyond repair, extraction becomes necessary for your protection. Taking out badly damaged teeth shields your body from harmful bacteria that can travel from teeth into your bloodstream.
- Persistent Infection — Sometimes tooth infections remain despite multiple treatments and medication. Extraction provides immediate relief by completely eliminating these stubborn infection sources that your body struggles to fight.
- Crowding Issues — Overcrowded teeth can twist, overlap, and trap food particles that lead to decay. Creating space through strategic extraction allows your remaining teeth to align properly, making cleaning easier and reducing future problems.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal — Back molars that appear in adulthood often become trapped below the gumline or grow at odd angles. Extracting these troublesome wisdom teeth early prevents unnecessary discomfort and protects the healthy teeth you rely on daily.
