Tooth Extraction

At Brimington Dental Practice, our team will always try our hardest to preserve the natural tooth, but in some cases, tooth extraction is necessary and suitable.

Tooth extraction has something of a negative reputation, and we understand that patients can feel nervous or even afraid of having a tooth taken out. With our experienced, gentle, and highly compassionate team on hand, there’s absolutely no need to worry, however, for those who still feel scared or nervous, we’re able to use sedation to get you feeling calm and comfortable.

Depending on the state of the tooth being extracted, tooth extraction is either ‘simple’ or ‘surgical’, with the latter being used on teeth that are either broken or impacted. Either way, in most situations, we’ll be able to carry out the treatment here at the practice, ensuring that you’re comfortable and pain-free throughout.

A tooth can need to be extracted for a variety of reasons, including:

• Decayed or damaged beyond repair
• Impacted or infected wisdom tooth
• Overcrowding
• Infection due to other illnesses, immune deficiency, or disease
