Save the Health of Your Smile with Tooth Extractions in White House, TN
Safe & Comfortable Tooth Extraction Treatment for Tooth Pain
Tooth pain is one of the most common reasons patients call our White House office. It can strike while biting or chewing, during brushing or flossing, or linger constantly with no trigger 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.
Common reasons include severe decay, cracked or fractured teeth, advanced gum disease, persistent infection, impacted wisdom teeth, oral trauma, or overcrowding. We carefully evaluate your tooth and consider every possible alternative before recommending removal.
What to Expect Following a Tooth Extraction
Losing a tooth doesn’t have to mean living with a gap. When your dental situation requires tooth removal, our team will walk you through replacement options before the procedure, not after.
Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement. An implant replaces the root as well as the crown, which keeps the surrounding bone stimulated and stops neighboring teeth from shifting into the space. With CEREC® technology, our doctors can custom-design and mill your crown right here in the office once the implant has healed.
If a graft is needed to rebuild bone at the site, we handle that in-house as well. With implants as the endpoint, an extraction becomes a step toward a healthier smile rather than a last resort.
