At Rock Canyon Dentistry, our dentists and team will always do whatever we can to help you keep your natural tooth. Our goal is to help you keep your natural smile for as long as possible. However, there are sometimes cases when a tooth extraction is the only option available. Dr. Joseph Kayne and Dr. John Wilson will work with you to see what can be done to replace the tooth if this is the case.
There are a few reasons why a tooth extraction may be a viable option:
- You may have a severe tooth infection that has decayed and destroyed much of the tooth itself and the surrounding bone structure in your jaw
- You have a tooth that is seriously decayed or damaged beyond repair
- Your smile is overcrowded, where there are too many teeth, and some need to be removed to properly fit your mouth
Once it is determined that you need a tooth extraction, we will do all that we can to help you stay as comfortable as possible. We will be gentle during the surgical process and have postoperative instructions ready for you when it is over, in order to avoid a condition called dry socket. We will help you through every step of the process to make sure that you are cared for. Depending on the treatment plan that has been specifically set up for you, we can go ahead and replace the tooth or teeth with certain restorations to restore oral functions.
