Understanding Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are necessary dental procedures performed to remove damaged, decayed, or problematic teeth at Cleopatra Dental in Huntington Beach, CA. While our goal is always to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, there are instances where extraction becomes the best course of action to protect oral health and prevent further complications. Our experienced dental team provides gentle and effective tooth extraction services to ensure a comfortable experience for our patients.
Reasons for Tooth Extractions
- Severe Tooth Decay: Advanced tooth decay that cannot be effectively treated with restorative procedures may require extraction to prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, may become impacted (trapped beneath the gum line) or cause crowding and misalignment issues, necessitating extraction.
- Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal (gum) disease can lead to significant damage to the supporting structures of the teeth, resulting in tooth loosening and eventual extraction.
- Trauma or Injury: Teeth that are severely fractured, cracked, or damaged due to trauma or injury may need to be extracted if they cannot be adequately restored.
- Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, tooth extraction may be recommended as part of orthodontic treatment to create space and facilitate proper tooth alignment.
