Dental Extractions to Remove Severely Damaged & Decayed Teeth
At Rouge Valley Dental Care, our priority is your health and comfort. Although we prefer to save a tooth whenever possible, there are times when damage is too extensive and a tooth will need to be extracted.
If our team recommends an extraction for you, we will take the time to explain why we feel it's best to remove the tooth and share information such as X-rays in order to help you understand details of your oral health condition.
We firmly believe that communication plays a key role in helping patients feel more at ease with dental procedures. We also offer a range of dental sedation options to help patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during their treatment with us.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt in the back corners of a normal adult mouth, usually between 17 and 25 years of age.
This third set of teeth can be problematic, crowding out other teeth as they develop. Wisdom teeth can also cause significant discomfort or create problems with your oral hygiene. In these cases, your dentist may recommend removing them.
Repairing Excessive Damage
In most cases, your dentist will work to save a tooth whenever possible. However, there are circumstances, such as injury, severe gum disease, or excessive decay, which can lead to the need for an extraction.
If you have a tooth that needs to be extracted, your dentist will discuss appropriate tooth replacement options with you, including dentures and dental implants.
