At RC Dental, our priority is always to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, there are times when removing a tooth is the best choice to protect your overall oral health. When an extraction is needed, you can count on our experienced team to make the process as gentle, efficient, and comfortable as possible.
We understand that the idea of having a tooth removed can feel intimidating. That’s why we take the time to answer your questions, ease your concerns, and prioritize your comfort at every stage of treatment.
There are several reasons a tooth may need to be removed, including:
In these situations, removing the tooth can help prevent further damage to surrounding teeth, gums, and bone, supporting your long-term oral health.
The process begins with a complete assessment, including a dental exam and digital X-rays to evaluate the tooth, its roots, and the surrounding structures. Our team will also review your medical history and discuss any concerns you may have.
To help you feel as comfortable as possible, local anesthesia is used to thoroughly numb the area. For patients who experience dental anxiety, sedation options are also available. Once you are relaxed, your dentist will carefully remove the tooth using gentle, minimally invasive techniques designed to promote faster healing and reduce discomfort.
After the procedure, we will provide clear home care instructions for a smooth recovery, including tips for managing any tenderness and what to expect during the healing process.
If the extracted tooth needs to be replaced, we will review your options with you, which may include dental implants or dental bridges. Replacing missing teeth is important not only for restoring the look and function of your smile but also for preventing shifting and bite problems in the future.
