At Moritz Dental Care, our priority is preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, removing a tooth is the best option for your overall oral health. Dr. Greg Moritz provides gentle tooth extractions to address dental issues while prioritizing your comfort.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While every effort is made to avoid tooth removal, certain situations may require an extraction, such as:
- Severe Tooth Decay or Damage
When a tooth is extensively decayed or damaged beyond repair, extraction may be necessary to prevent further complications. - Advanced Infection
If a tooth and its supporting bone structure are significantly affected by infection, removing the tooth can prevent the spread of infection. - Crowded Teeth
In cases where overcrowding prevents proper alignment, an extraction may be recommended to create space for other teeth to align correctly.
A Comfortable, Gentle Procedure
Dr. Moritz ensures that tooth extractions are performed as gently and painlessly as possible. From the moment you walk into our office, our team is committed to your comfort and care. After the procedure, we will provide detailed post-operative instructions to promote proper healing and minimize discomfort.
Replacing Your Extracted Tooth
After you’ve healed, restoring your smile is the next step. Dr. Moritz will discuss your options for tooth replacement to ensure the best results for your oral function and appearance. Common solutions include:
- Dental Bridges: A reliable option for replacing one or more missing teeth.
- Dental Implants: A long-lasting, natural-looking replacement that integrates with your jawbone.
- Dentures: A removable solution for replacing multiple or all missing teeth.
