Save the Health of Your Smile with Tooth Extractions
Safe and Comfortable Treatment for Tooth Pain
Tooth pain is one of the most common concerns our patients experience. This pain can be experienced while biting or chewing, brushing or flossing, or even consistently with no stimulation at all.
In simple cases, discomfort, pain, or bleeding may result from inflammation caused by bacteria or irritation; however, in severe cases, the pain may be a sign of something more serious.
If a tooth has been irreparably damaged by trauma or decay, Dr. Chris Givens or Dr. Jared Britt may recommend tooth extraction to save your smile and restore your oral health. The treatment is safe and comfortable when performed using modern techniques, including sedation dentistry.
Reasons Why You May Need Tooth Extraction
If you need a tooth extraction, it may be for several reasons. However, removing a tooth is never our first solution to dental concerns, except in extreme cases where the tooth cannot be saved and the health of your smile is at risk. If you’ve struggled with gum disease, experienced oral trauma, or had cavities that went untreated for an extended period, then your tooth may be in too poor a condition to save.
What to Expect Following a Tooth Extraction
If your dental situation requires tooth removal, our team will provide tooth replacement solutions with dental implants. Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement, and with CEREC® technology, our doctors can custom-design and make a crown for you in the office after your implant has healed. With dental implants as a solution, you can view tooth extraction not as a final resort but as a step toward a lifetime of healthier smiles.
