In cases of severe dental damage, Dr. Dooley may recommend a tooth extraction. He always tries to save damaged teeth whenever possible. However, if your tooth cannot be repaired, he will perform precise, minimal discomfort extraction. He can also provide a lifelike dental restoration.
If you require a tooth extraction, Dr. Dooley will numb your tooth and gum tissue, ensuring you feel very little throughout the process. He uses gentle techniques to remove your tooth with minimal impact to the surrounding tissues. After your extraction, Dr. Dooley will carefully close the area and provide detailed instructions to help minimize sensitivity and promote a smooth recovery.
In many cases, root canal therapy or a dental crown can treat structural damage or a dental infection. However, in some cases, extraction may be the best option. For example, if you have a compromised immune system and cannot tolerate root canal therapy, an extraction may be right for you. Dr. Dooley may also recommend removal if you have a loose tooth due to periodontal disease or some other factor.
Though extraction is typically a last resort, the treatment can have tremendous benefits for your oral health. By removing an infected tooth, Dr. Dooley can prevent the bacteria from affecting your overall dental and oral-systemic health. Additionally, when he removes a severely compromised tooth, he can make room for a new restoration that will improve your smile and dental function. We offer a wide range of dental prosthetics and will choose one that looks natural and meets your health needs.
To save your smile, Dr. Dooley will do everything possible to restore your tooth. However, if tooth extraction is necessary, then you shouldn’t hesitate.
