Tooth Extractions

Comfortable Treatment from a Dentist You Trust

Just about everyone has had a tooth removed at some point in life. Decay, impaction, and overcrowding can cause discomfort and often, the simplest and best option is tooth extraction.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

In your late teens and early twenties, most people get their third, and final, set of molars. Commonly referred to as your wisdom teeth, your third year molars normally need to be removed because the crowd your mouth. After taking X-rays to locate the position of your wisdom teeth, the doctor may suggest tooth extraction before problems develop. We recommend removing wisdom teeth as early as possible because the bone is less dense and the roots are less developed in teenagers and young adults.

Tooth Replacement after Extraction

Our Burlington dental practice also offers many tooth replacement options including dental implants and crown and bridgework. We’ll be sure to go over all your options so that you fully understand your treatment plan.

You can rest assured that our dentists are gentle and quick to minimize discomfort and get you back to your daily life after a tooth extraction. If you’re fearful about your dental work, be sure to ask about oral sedation. Soothing and relaxing, oral sedation will provide the comfort you need for a calming experience.
