Getting a tooth removed may seem frightening, but modern techniques make the process smooth, fast, and nearly pain-free. Our Mt. Holly team uses advanced digital imaging and precise planning tools to make each tooth removal as safe and accurate as we can.

Before we recommend removing your tooth, we carefully examine it to see if we can save it with a filling, crown, or root canal therapy. If removal gives you the best outcome, we do everything possible to make your experience gentle and relaxing.

We begin with digital imaging to see your tooth’s roots and structure. Local numbing medicine keeps the area completely comfortable during treatment. Our careful approach helps protect the soft tissues around your tooth. After your procedure, you receive detailed healing instructions, and we remain available to answer questions.

We welcome any questions you have before, during, and after your visit.

When You Might Need Tooth Removal

Several situations may require tooth extraction:

• Severe decay or damage occurs when a tooth cannot be repaired, and removal prevents infection and pain from spreading.
• Advanced gum disease causes teeth to become loose from gum problems and may require removal to prevent further damage.
• Wisdom tooth issues happen when back teeth lack space or grow incorrectly and need removal to protect other teeth and prevent pain or infection.
• Orthodontic treatment sometimes requires tooth removal to create space for teeth to move into proper positions.
• Fractured or split teeth that break below the gum line often cannot be saved and need removal to maintain oral health.
• Preparing for dentures may involve removing some teeth to prepare your mouth for replacement teeth.
• Medical conditions might require infected tooth removal if your immune system struggles to fight bacteria.

Options to Replace Missing Teeth After Removal

A missing tooth does not mean your smile must remain incomplete. Once your mouth heals, we help you choose from several tooth replacement options:

• Dental Implants provide long-lasting, natural-looking results that function like your original teeth.
• Bridges offer fixed replacements that fill gaps from one or more missing teeth in a row.
• Complete or Partial Dentures provide removable solutions that restore comfort, proper chewing function, and a full smile.

We discuss each option and create a plan that fits your lifestyle and budget.

If you experience tooth pain or suspect you need tooth removal, please do not delay treatment. We are here to help you find relief quickly.
