Why should I get Dental Extractions?
While we always recommend keeping your natural dentition whenever possible, sometimes dental extractions are necessary for various reasons. If you have a severely decayed or damaged tooth that cannot be restored, extraction may be the best option to prevent infection and further complications. Additionally, if you have crowded teeth or are preparing for orthodontic treatment, extractions may be required to create space for proper alignment. Our team will assess your specific situation and recommend the best course of action to improve your oral health.

The Benefits of Dental Extractions
Pain Relief
Toothaches caused by infection, decay, or damage can be a excruciating experience. Dental extractions can provide immediate relief from toothaches and discomfort caused by severely damaged or infected teeth. By removing the source of pain, you can experience immediate relief and improve your overall quality of life.
Prevent Infection
Severely decayed or infected teeth can lead to serious oral health issues, including gum disease, dental abscesses, and more. By extracting the affected teeth, we can prevent the spread of infection and protect your surrounding teeth and gums.
Improved Oral Health
By removing damaged or decayed teeth, we can improve your overall oral health. Dental extractions can help prevent further damage to neighboring teeth and promote better alignment, making it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene and prevent future dental issues.
The Dental Extractions Treatment Process
Evaluation and Consultation
During your initial visit, Dr. Nathan Ewoldt will carefully examine your teeth and gums to determine if dental extractions are necessary. We will discuss your treatment options and address any concerns or questions you may have.
Preparing for Extraction
If extraction is recommended, our team will ensure you are comfortable and provide local anesthesia to numb the area. We will gently loosen the tooth using specialized tools before carefully removing it.
Post-Extraction Care
After the extraction, we will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site to promote proper healing. It is important to follow these instructions to minimize the risk of complications and ensure a smooth recovery.
