Bothered by a decayed or impacted tooth? If so, our dentist may recommend a tooth extraction to help you find relief and protect your neighboring teeth. While we strive to avoid the need to perform this treatment, removing a tooth may be the most suitable option to return your smile back to good health. After your tooth has been extracted and your gums have properly healed, Dr. Julia Gorelik is happy to replace your tooth with one of our restorative treatments, so you can smile with confidence.

What conditions cause the need for a tooth extraction?

You may benefit from a tooth extraction if you have:

  • Tooth decay that is too serious to repair with a filling or other dental restoration
  • Untreated gum disease that has caused a tooth to deteriorate
  • Overcrowding caused by too many teeth to fit properly inside the mouth
  • An impacted tooth that has not fully erupted past the gumline 

What happens during a tooth extraction?

When you receive a tooth extraction, our dentist and team will safely administer a type of sedation to ease your discomfort. We use great care to safely remove your problem tooth and will provide you a list of post-care instructions on what you can do to have a healthy recovery.
