Our teeth are important to help us chew our food and they are the first impression we give people when we meet them. We should take the time to keep our smiles healthy so they can last a lifetime. However, there are a few situations where you may find yourself facing a tooth extraction. Some of the reasons you might need an extraction include:
If you have a dead or irreparably damaged tooth, the extraction procedure might be a little more complicated. In these situations, the tooth might have to be broken down and extracted in pieces. Before extracting a dead or irreparably damaged tooth, Dr. Brenner will go over the options with you.
Almost everyone goes through the "rite of passage" of wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth can be a more difficult extraction and may require you to have a general anesthetic if your wisdom teeth are impacted or not coming in right. Dr. Brenner and the team at Brenner Dental Group will evaluate your wisdom teeth to see if they can be extracted during a visit to our office or if a referral to an oral surgeon would be best.
Extractions may be part of the process when you are preparing for dentures or dental implants. These extractions are usually a simple procedure with very little bleeding and a short recovery time. Extractions can be a little more complicated with molars due to more roots in the tooth.
When some patients prepare for orthodontics (Invisalign or traditional metal braces), they may need to have a tooth removed from an overcrowded mouth before proceeding with the treatment to straighten the teeth.
An extraction in preparation for braces is often a less complcated procedure since the the tooth is normally intact and healthy.
Our expertly skilled and trained staff at Brenner Dental Group is lead by the highly credentialed Dr. Jeffrey Brenner, which is why we, as a team, have the ability extract your tooth safely.
