When Tooth Extractions Are Necessary
Dentists aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, but in some cases, extractions may be necessary. This could include situations where a tooth is severely cracked or damaged and cannot be repaired, is too decayed for a filling or crown, or when there is significant gum disease or infection.
Tooth Extractions Made More Comfortable
Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure, but they can feel intimidating for many people.
At Dental Clinic Dental, we use local anesthetics to numb the area and help minimize discomfort during the procedure.
For patients with anxiety, sedation options are available to help you feel more at ease.

What Happens Before an Extraction
Exploring All Options
Dentists prioritize saving a tooth whenever possible and explore alternatives before considering extraction.
Examination and Imaging
The process begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures.
Cleaning and Assessment
Teeth may be cleaned for clarity, then the dentist assesses the tooth’s condition and discusses next steps.
Preventing Infection
Antibiotics may be prescribed before or after extraction to reduce infection risk depending on individual needs.
