Tooth Extractions: What You Should Know

March 25, 2024

When dental issues persist despite our best efforts at saving a tooth, it may be necessary to consider a tooth extraction. Our skilled team at the office of Redford Dental Care is committed to providing top-tier care and ensuring you're comfortable throughout the process. With state-of-the-art facilities, we use cutting-edge technology and techniques to make every dental experience stress-free and pleasant.

Why Teeth May Need to Be Extracted

Dentists often recommend extractions for various reasons. Teeth severely compromised by decay, injury, or bone loss may be deemed non-restorable. In these cases, extracting the tooth prevents further damage to adjacent teeth and surrounding tissues. Likewise, problematic wisdom teeth that are impacted or poorly positioned may also require extraction to avoid complications such as infection, cysts, oral pain, and problems affecting nearby teeth.

In some situations, primary teeth may need extraction if they're ankylosed (fused to the underlying bone), over-retained (unwilling to fall out on their own), or pose a risk to the proper development of secondary teeth. Additionally, children, teens, or adults with significant dental crowding may require extractions as part of their orthodontic treatment plan to facilitate proper alignment.

The Extraction Process and Aftercare

At the office of Redford Dental Care, our team will conduct a thorough examination, utilizing advanced digital radiography as needed, to determine the best approach for care. We deliver precise, gentle treatment while keeping you informed and relaxed throughout the procedure. If your tooth needs replacement, we'll discuss the most appropriate options for rebuilding a beautiful and functional smile.

Recommendations may include dentures, fixed bridges, or dental implants. Dental implants are currently considered the most advanced treatment option available, coming closest to replicating the natural look, feel, and function of teeth. They're a durable and long-lasting solution that promotes optimal oral health.

Restoring Your Smile After Extraction

Following an extraction, our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. We'll closely monitor your progress during follow-up appointments to maintain optimal oral health.

Tooth extractions may be necessary when other treatment options have been exhausted or pose significant risks to your overall dental health. At the office of Redford Dental Care, we prioritize patient comfort and care, offering state-of-the-art technology and a compassionate team dedicated to helping you achieve optimal oral health.
