General Extractions & Wisdom Tooth Removal in Nelson
What is a Tooth Extraction?
While preserving a natural tooth is always the preferred option, there are some cases where saving the tooth may not be feasible.
If you have a tooth that is severely damaged, causing pain or leading to other oral health problems, it may need to be removed by your dentist.
During the extraction process, your comfort is always our top priority. To help ensure that you do not experience any pain during the procedure, extractions at our clinic are performed under local anesthesia.
If you are scheduled to have a tooth removed, your dentist may recommend a tooth replacement option, such as a dental implant or a bridge, to fill the gap left by the missing tooth and help prevent further oral health issues from developing.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to erupt, usually in patients aged 17 to 25.
This third set of teeth is not always functional and can put pressure on nearby teeth as they erupt, causing discomfort. They can also cause oral hygiene problems, as it can be difficult to reach the back of the mouth with the toothbrush.
If your wisdom teeth are causing pain or leading to dental health problems, your dentist may recommend an extraction.
Repairing Excessive Damage
Dentists generally try to preserve natural teeth whenever possible. However, severe damage due to injury, gum disease, or excessive decay may lead to the need for an extraction.
If you need a tooth extraction, your dentist will explain the various tooth replacement options available and recommend the solutions that best fit your needs. After a tooth extraction, our goal is to help you reestablish optimal oral health by preventing further problems.
