Extractions Q & A
What is an extraction?
– An extraction is a last resort procedure for removing diseased material and restoring good dental health.
Why might I need an extraction?
– Occasionally teeth will have to be removed due to extensive decay beyond repair, severe disease, or trauma to the tooth that deems the tooth nonrestorable. We also remove teeth when patients undergo orthodontic procedures or other processes that require more space to be available within the mouth.
What is it like to have an extraction performed?
– At Smiling Faces Dentistry, we strive to make teeth extractions painless and quick so that there is overall less stress for the patient. Local anesthetics and oral sedatives are used to ensure the patient has a stress-free experience.
Do you extract 3rd Molars (Wisdom Teeth)?
– Yes! Dr. Crear provides services for removal of wisdom teeth even if they are impacted. If the wisdom tooth extraction is very complicated, Dr. Crear may refer you to the Oral Surgeon on her staff.
