At Rock Creek Dental, Dr. Kelly Reynolds and Dr. Derrick Peck carefully evaluate every option before recommending a tooth extraction. However, in some cases, removing a tooth is the best action to protect your oral health.
Tooth Extractions May Be Necessary If:
- Severe infection has compromised the tooth and surrounding bone
- Extensive decay has damaged the tooth beyond restoration
- Overcrowding prevents proper alignment or interferes with orthodontic treatment
- Advanced periodontal disease has weakened the tooth’s support structure
- Preparation for cosmetic or restorative treatment requires removal to ensure a stable outcome
A Comfortable and Precise Procedure
We prioritize patient comfort and take every step to make the extraction process as smooth as possible. Our dentists use gentle techniques, local anesthesia, and sedation options to help you feel at ease. Once the tooth is removed, we will guide you through your recovery process and discuss replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to restore function and aesthetics.
