Tooth Extractions

Tooth Extractions

Sometimes, a tooth cannot be repaired by a dental restoration. When this happens, our dentist may recommend removing the tooth to keep the rest of your mouth healthy. Dr. Grzegorzewski and our team will discuss replacement options with you before the tooth removal to help ensure your smile remains functional and beautiful.

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. While we strive to avoid the need to remove a tooth whenever possible, certain conditions may make tooth extraction the most effective option for returning your smile to good health and function. Following the tooth extraction, we are happy to provide you with one of our excellent tooth replacement treatments to restore your smile to optimal health, beauty and function.

Several conditions may necessitate tooth extraction. Among these are:

  • Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure
  • Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making a successful restoration impossible
  • Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth

Our dentist and team use great care and skill when performing a tooth extraction to ensure that your experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. We will also provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions so that you can properly take care of your smile as it heals. For more information on tooth extraction and to schedule your personalized consultation at our friendly dental office, we invite you to call or visit us today. We are committed to improving your smile!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a sinus lift and implant be done at the same time?

Depending on your oral health and severity of your procedure, a dental implant might be able to be placed at the same time as a sinus augmentation. Sinus lift surgery has proven to increase your chances for successful implants that can last for years to come.

When you visit for your initial consultation, Our team will be able to better understand your condition and determine whether or not these two procedures can be done during one appointment.

Does insurance cover my dental implants procedure?

Many dental insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of dental implants. We recommend contacting your insurance provider if you want to know the details of your coverage. Our insurance coordinator can help you obtain the full benefits of your insurance.

If you’re concerned about the cost of dental implants, financing plans may also be an option. These plans break down your treatment bill into convenient monthly payments, so you can afford dental implants without breaking the bank.
