Your dentist recommends tooth extractions for various reasons. But having a tooth pulled does not mean the end of your smile. In cases where teeth are lost to damage or decay, we can talk to you about tooth replacement.
Reasons You Might Need a Tooth Extraction
Severe Decay or Damage
Severe decay and trauma to your tooth can sometimes be repaired with a tooth crown. However, your dentist will recommend extraction in extreme cases like breakage below the gumline.
This type of extraction makes you a potential candidate for tooth replacement. Our options include:
- Dental implant
- Dental bridge
- Partial denture
Before Dental Work or Prosthetics
If you’re considering complete dentures, we will extract any remaining teeth. In addition, your dentist may recommend a tooth extraction for those undergoing Invisalign if your jaw won’t accommodate an entire arch of straight teeth.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are disposable. You don’t need them to eat, speak, or smile. So, if your wisdom teeth are bothersome—partially erupted or causing pain—your dentist will recommend extraction. A partially erupted tooth leaves you vulnerable to oral infection, and wisdom teeth can push on needed teeth, causing discomfort.
The Extraction Process
We provide gentle tooth extractions in Jonesboro, AR, ensuring the treatment site is comfortably numb before starting work. We also offer sedation dentistry, ideal for multiple extractions or complex cases.
When the area is numb, or sedation has taken hold, your dentist relies on image-guided technology to remove the tooth.
We provide all aftercare instructions and are always available if you have questions about your recovery.
