Wisdom Tooth Extraction

At Reflection Dental Spring Valley NV, our dentist 89103 would always try to avoid tooth extraction 89103 if at all possible. Our cosmetic dentist 89103 will treat the tooth with fillings, crowns, veneers and so forth to try to save it if we can. There will be circumstances however where a tooth has to be removed for example if it is damaged beyond repair or if it is very loose.

It is a very simple procedure to remove a tooth from its socket when it is fully visible. Sometimes however it is necessary to remove a tooth when it either has not erupted yet from the gum, or it has broken off at the gum line. In these cases a surgical extraction is required by our 89103 dentist, where a small incision will be made around the bone or through the gum to assist the extraction.

There may be other reasons why Reflection Dental Las Vegas would need to perform a tooth extraction. These include the following.

• Too many teeth in the mouth can block new teeth from coming through.
• Having a brace fitted may mean one or more teeth may need to be removed to allow proper alignment of the teeth.
• Wisdom teeth or molars can cause problems when they start to come through, causing swelling, bleeding, pain cysts or infections, or even having signs of decay already. In such cases, Reflection Dental 89103 may recommend tooth extraction.
• Baby teeth do not always fall out in time to make way for the adult teeth, and may need to be extracted.
• Patients receiving organ transplants may need to have infected teeth removed so as not to adversely affect the chances of success for the transplanted organ.
