When a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved, removal may be the best way to protect your oral health
In some cases, leaving a compromised tooth in place can lead to infection, bone loss, or damage to surrounding teeth. Timely treatment relieves pain and prevents more complex dental issues in the future.
At Northport Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we provide gentle, precise extractions using advanced techniques to ensure your comfort. Whether your extraction is necessary before dental implants or part of a periodontal treatment plan, we are here to help.
When is an Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extractions are recommended when:
- Severe decay or damage makes the tooth unsalvageable
- Gum disease has weakened the tooth’s support
- A tooth is impacted or causing overcrowding
- Preparing the mouth for dental implants or other restorations
Types of Extractions We Perform
- Simple Extractions – For visible teeth that can be removed with minimal surgical intervention.
- Surgical Extractions – For teeth that are broken, impacted, or located below the gumline.
Our Comfort-Focused Approach
Your comfort and safety come first. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure a pain-free experience. Our precise techniques help minimize recovery time and support healthy healing.
Recovery & Aftercare
Following your extraction, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to reduce discomfort, prevent infection, and promote healing. We’ll also discuss your tooth replacement options, such as dental implants, to restore your smile and function.
Protect Your Oral Health with Extractions
An extraction may be the best solution if a tooth is causing pain, infection, or other dental issues. Contact Northport Periodontics and Implant Dentistry to schedule an appointment and get expert care in a comfortable environment.
