At Panther Creek Dental, we believe that your natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime and are committed to treating dental problems using any restorative dentistry procedure we can. However, there are times tooth damage is beyond repair, leaving us with no choice but to extract the affected tooth. If that’s the case, you can count on our team for outstanding, gentle care!
Why Would You Require a Tooth Extraction?
There are many reasons we may recommend tooth extraction, including the following:
● Extensive Decay: A tooth with deep decay that’s affected the tooth pulp and doesn’t respond to root canal therapy may require an extraction to protect the health of the surrounding teeth and avoid complications.
● Trauma: A tooth that’s injured due to an accident may sustain damage beyond repair, leaving us with no option but to remove it.
● Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease, a condition known as periodontitis, may damage the tissues and bone keeping a tooth in place, necessitating its extraction.
● Orthodontic Treatment: If you have a crowded mouth, we may need to selectively remove one or more of your teeth to make the room needed for the remaining teeth to move into alignment.
