When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

At Sundance Dental Care, our goal is to prevent teeth from needing to be extracted, but there are some circumstances where it becomes necessary. These circumstances might include:

• If there is not enough room for all your teeth to fit properly

• Tooth decay

• Gum disease

• If a tooth is damaged or chipped beyond repair

• Severe tooth pain that has not been solved by anything else

If Dr. Rebecca Schaffer and Dr. Mai-Ly Duong find it necessary to extract a tooth, we will numb the area to keep you as comfortable as possible during the procedure. We will also provide you with instructions to help your recover after your procedure. After you heal, our dentists will work closely with you to decide which replacement option will be best.

If you have any questions about tooth extraction in Phoenix, Arizona, we invite you to give us a call today at 623-936-6665.
