Brooks Tooth Extraction

Your Choice in Brooks for Tooth Extractions

At Parkview Dental Centre, our goal is to keep your natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some situations, removing a tooth may be necessary to protect your oral health or prevent further problems.

If an extraction is recommended, we will explain why it is being considered, what the procedure involves, and what you can expect afterward.

When a Tooth Extraction May Be Recommended

A tooth extraction may be considered when a tooth can no longer be supported or may lead to further issues if left in place.

This may include:

● Extensive decay that cannot be restored
● Damage from trauma or fracture
● Advanced gum disease affecting the supporting bone
● Overcrowding, sometimes prior to orthodontic treatment
● Infection that cannot be managed with other treatment
● Impacted teeth that are not able to erupt properly

We will review your situation and discuss whether removal is appropriate for your specific situation and what other options may be available.

Tooth Extractions at Parkview Dental Centre

Before an extraction, we will review your medical and dental history and take any necessary imaging to understand the position of your tooth.

Most extractions are completed using local anesthesia to keep you as comfortable as possible. If needed, we can also discuss additional [sedation] options to help you feel more at ease.

During the procedure, your tooth is carefully removed while preserving the surrounding bone and tissue as much as possible.

After the extraction, we provide instructions to help support healing and reduce the risk of complications.

After Your Tooth Extraction

It is normal to have some soreness or swelling as the area begins to heal.

We will guide you on:

● How to manage discomfort
● What to expect in the first few days
● How to care for the area as it heals

In some cases, it is important to consider how the space will be managed after a tooth is removed. Depending on your situation, this may include options such as [dental implants] or other types of restoration.

Considering a Tooth Extraction

If you have a tooth that is causing ongoing problems or have been told it may need to be removed, it can help to have it assessed.

Our team at Parkview Dental Centre will take the time to explain what is happening and help you understand your options before you decide how to proceed.
