When Tooth Removal Is the Best Option

Pulling out a tooth is a safe, quick, and painless process.

Despite your best efforts, teeth sometimes need to be removed to protect your health. When we’ve discussed all other possibilities and you’ve decided on extraction, we’ll take every step to help you.

 Your well-being always takes priority in any treatment decision. Some patients prefer sedation to help with oral surgery, and we can review these options in your treatment plan. 

We take every measure to make sure even minor surgical procedures are as comfortable as possible.

Some teeth are removed more easily than others, but we at Cedar Glen Dental take pride in helping every patient get numb with modern anesthesia. 

Once the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Caldwell uses specialized instruments to elevate the tooth out of place. You will receive specific post-op instructions to help you care for the area after your procedure.

While our immediate concern is the short-term management of your care, we will also discuss your long-term plans for replacing missing teeth. Leaving a space is always an option, but spaces in your smile can create appearance and function challenges that are important to consider.

Teeth slowly shift or migrate into open spaces and minimizing the effects of an unbalanced bite now can prevent issues later in life.

Since teeth help nourish our bodies and support our confidence, we will help you create a plan that fits your short and long-term goals.
