Surgical Tooth Extractions

Dr. Aditi Verma and Dr. Dhaval Shah offer surgical tooth extractions to remove damaged teeth from your mouth and begin the process of helping you regain your oral health. This procedure involves the careful removal of a tooth after other treatment options are unable to resolve the underlying issues. The goal of tooth extractions is to alleviate discomfort and to prevent further injury or complications for your teeth, smile and health.

There are a number of scenarios in which a tooth extraction may become necessary, including:

• An advanced infection that compromises the integrity of the tooth and the surrounding bone structure, rendering it beyond salvageable. In such cases, removing the tooth becomes crucial to halt the spread of infection and safeguard the health of neighboring teeth.
• Severe decay that irreparably damages a tooth, making it impossible to restore through conventional means such as fillings or crowns.
• Overcrowding of the teeth. Extractions in this case may be required to ensure that the remaining teeth align properly and function optimally.
• Significant injury or trauma due to accidents or other factors. If a tooth sustains too much damage to be successfully restored, then an extraction may be the best option prior to replacing the tooth.
