Occasionally, a tooth may become damaged or decayed beyond repair. In cases such as this, Dr. Jeffery Carver may recommend a tooth extraction to preserve your overall oral health. Our team at Quail Ridge Dental is trained and experienced to perform tooth extractions in a gentle and efficient manner. If you need to schedule an appointment with our dentist, or if you would like to learn more about tooth extractions in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, please call our office at 928-855-5042.
Tooth extractions involve the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While preserving natural teeth is always a priority, extractions may sometimes be necessary to protect your oral health and maintain a functional, comfortable smile. Whether it is due to advanced damage or as part of a larger treatment plan, our experienced dentist and team are here to ensure your procedure is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
There are several reasons why tooth extractions may be recommended. Severe tooth decay or extensive damage from trauma can render a tooth beyond repair, making extraction the best option to prevent further complications. Infections that reach the tooth’s pulp or surrounding bone may also require removal to protect adjacent teeth and tissues. Extractions are sometimes needed to resolve overcrowding, especially when preparing for orthodontic treatment or when wisdom teeth fail to erupt properly and cause pain or misalignment.
Your comfort and care are our top priorities. Our team uses advanced techniques to make the extraction process as gentle as possible, minimizing discomfort during and after the procedure. Depending on your specific needs, we may recommend options such as local anesthesia or sedation to help you feel at ease.
Following your extraction, we will provide clear instructions to support your recovery. These guidelines will help you manage any temporary discomfort and reduce the risk of complications, such as dry socket. We also discuss tooth replacement solutions to restore your smile’s appearance and function. Options like dental implants, bridges or dentures can fill the gap left by the extracted tooth, ensuring your long-term oral health.
If you believe you may need a tooth extraction or have questions about the procedure, we encourage you to contact our office. We are committed to delivering compassionate care and helping you make informed decisions about your dental health. Let us support you in achieving a healthy, confident smile.
