What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that's too damaged, decayed, or problematic to save. It can be a simple extraction for a visible tooth or a surgical one for a tooth that's broken or impacted below the gumline. While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, removing a tooth is sometimes the healthiest option to relieve pain and prevent further problems. At Lava Dental, we perform extractions gently and comfortably, and we'll discuss replacement options whenever one is needed.
The Benefits of Tooth Extraction
Pain Relief
Removing a severely damaged or infected tooth brings fast relief from the pain and pressure it's been causing.
Stops Infection
Taking out a badly infected tooth prevents bacteria from spreading to nearby teeth, gums, and bone.
Protects Health
Extraction can protect your overall oral health by removing a tooth that threatens the ones around it.
Makes Room
Removing overcrowded or problem teeth can create space for better alignment or future restorations.
