Better teeth, better health
At Southfield Family Dental, our primary goal is to preserve your teeth in any way possible, but occasionally, the only solution is a tooth extraction. For extremely painful teeth, overcrowding, or severe damage, the professionals at Southfield Family Dental may suggest a tooth extraction. This quick procedure will not only alleviate your pain and aching but will allow the rest of your teeth to thrive.
Commonly known as "getting a tooth pulled," tooth extractions are dental procedures where your tooth is completely removed from the socket. The oral surgeon at Southfield Family Dental will evaluate the tooth in question, provide a local anesthetic to numb the area, and remove the infected or damaged tooth. Once the tooth has been removed, it's possible you'll need stitches to allow for proper healing.
Tooth extractions are most commonly performed on wisdom teeth, as most young adults don't have enough room for the teeth to come in. Whether your tooth is damaged beyond repair or your wisdom teeth are causing significant discomfort, a tooth extraction at Southfield Family Dental is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Our professionals can relieve symptoms of pain and pressure with ease and can replace the open space with an implant, denture, or bridge.
