While our primary goal at Gateway Dental is to maintain the health and longevity of your natural teeth, there are circumstances where tooth extraction is the most appropriate option available. When an extraction is recommended by your dentist, trust Gateway Dental for safe and efficient tooth extractions. Our team’s top priority is maintaining your comfort throughout the procedure, and we do everything we can to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience from start to finish.

What are Reasons for a Tooth Extraction?

While preserving natural teeth is always our priority at Gateway Dental, there are situations where extraction is the best option for maintaining your overall dental health and well-being. A tooth extraction may be necessary when there is extensive damage to a tooth, severe injury, or irreparable conditions like advanced periodontal disease or severe decay that cannot be treated and does not allow for saving the tooth. Extractions might also be recommended if a tooth’s positioning interferes with orthodontic treatment.

What is the Tooth Extraction Process?

Before proceeding with an extraction, our Gateway Dental team will thoroughly review your medical history to ensure the procedure is suitable for you. After confirmation, an X-ray will be taken to assess the position of the tooth’s roots and the surrounding bone structure. Extraction typically involves local anesthesia. Sedatives are also available if needed for added relaxation. Throughout the extraction procedure, our team’s top priority is your comfort and safety. Once the area is adequately numb, the tooth is gently removed, taking care to preserve the surrounding bone integrity.

In cases of emergency extractions, Gateway Dental offers aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement options, such as dental bridges and implants. These solutions restore both function and appearance, providing natural-looking results. Whether it is for a routine or urgent extraction, Gateway Dental is always here for your dental health and well-being!
