Expert Tooth Extractions for a Healthier Smile!
The procedure of extracting or “pulling” teeth is classified as the simplest form of oral surgery. At Sage Dental, we would love to see you keep all of your teeth, but there are some circumstances in which oral surgery is the best treatment plan. These include:
- Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
- Teeth that have been severely damaged and cannot be restored
- Baby teeth that are “stuck” or preventing permanent teeth from erupting
- Loose teeth that require extraction to prepare for full or partial dentures
We know that no one looks forward to having teeth extracted, but if you require oral surgery, our team at Sage Dental is one of the most skilled and compassionate in the area. Call to make an appointment at one of our four conveniently located offices.
Types of Oral Surgery We Perform
Tooth Extractions
Extractions are done as a way to preserve your oral health and remove problematic teeth. In some cases, you may need to have teeth removed because of advanced gum disease. In other cases, you'll need an extraction because you have an impacted wisdom tooth. We always perform extractions in our office in a safe, comfortable and relaxed manner at your own convenience.
Why Are Tooth Extractions Needed?
Extractions are often performed when there is no other way to save a tooth. Some teeth are simply an issue to your oral health, so it's best to remove them before they're allowed to cause issues with shifting, infection and intra-oral damage. Some of the reasons you may want or need an extraction include:
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Loose or severely decayed teeth
- Teeth that are cracked or broken below the gum line
- Stubborn baby teeth
- You're looking to avoid having additional treatment done
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth will typically begin to develop around the time a person reaches adulthood. Unfortunately, if there isn't enough room for the teeth to come in properly, they become impacted underneath the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth will often become painful, infected and cause damage to surrounding teeth. It is best to have these molars removed as soon as it's found that they're a problem.
Why Would Wisdom Teeth Removal Be Needed?
The main reason for needing wisdom tooth removal is because the third molars can become an issue if they're impacted and left in place. Over time, the wisdom teeth can become severely infected, decayed and even push up against other teeth. This could cause damage to surrounding teeth as well as overcrowding. It is never too soon or too late to have these teeth removed fully.
