We understand that the thought of tooth removal and oral surgery can be daunting. At Meon Dental Care, we try to keep you from losing your natural tooth where possible.
However, there can be times when restoring the tooth to its natural function may not be achievable when the damage or decay is irreversible.
This is where our expert clinicians can guide you through the best route possible for the extraction of the problem tooth in the gentlest way possible. Extractions are very common and considered a safe procedure. Your dentist is best placed to advise you if you need an extraction and whether you need:
- A Simple Extraction, which takes a few minutes to remove the problem tooth. Learn more about Simple Extractions here.
- A Complex or Surgical Extraction, due to a broken tooth, curved roots or unerupted tooth requiring longer to remove.
Both procedures are available at Meon Dental Care and our dental surgeon will ensure your treatment is as smooth and painless as possible.
Here are some common reasons why your dentist or oral surgeon may recommend tooth extraction:
Severe Tooth Decay
When tooth decay becomes extensive and compromises a significant portion of the tooth, extraction may be necessary, especially if the tooth cannot be restored with fillings, crowns, or other dental procedures.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, may become impacted, meaning they are unable to fully erupt through the gums due to lack of space or improper alignment. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth, necessitating extraction.
Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)
Advanced gum disease can lead to damage to the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums and the bone. In cases where the disease has progressed significantly and caused loosening of the tooth, extraction may be required to prevent further complications.
Orthodontic Treatment
In some cases, tooth extraction may be part of orthodontic treatment to create space for proper alignment of the remaining teeth. This is commonly done when there is severe crowding or protrusion of teeth.
Fractured or Broken Teeth
Teeth that are severely fractured or broken beyond repair may need to be extracted, especially if the damage extends below the gum line or compromises the tooth's structural integrity.
Malpositioned Teeth
Teeth that are poorly positioned or erupt in the wrong direction may interfere with bite function, oral hygiene, or overall dental health. In such cases, extraction may be recommended to prevent further complications.
Abscess or Infection
Severe infection or abscess around a tooth may necessitate extraction to prevent the spread of infection to surrounding tissues or other parts of the body.
Preventive Reasons
In some cases, teeth may be extracted as a preventive measure to avoid potential future problems, such as in cases of supernumerary (extra) teeth or before certain medical procedures or treatments (e.g., radiation therapy to the head and neck region).
Trauma
Teeth that have been severely traumatized due to accidents or injury may require extraction if they cannot be adequately restored or if they pose a risk to oral health.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery can resolve a range of issues from difficulty chewing or speaking to sleep apnea and TMJ disorders. Our surgeons work closely with orthodontists to ensure optimal results.
