Extractions

Extractions

In the event that a tooth cannot be saved, it may be necessary to remove (extract) it. The most common reasons for tooth extractions include infection, trauma, caries, or overcrowding. Wisdom teeth are the most commonly removed teeth because they can cause a number of complications when they finally begin to push toward the surface of the gums, often becoming impacted or pressing against sensitive nerves. As always, we utilize advanced anesthetics that numb the area so we can ensure complete comfort. This advanced dentistry procedure only takes a few minutes to perform at our Charlotte medical center, and the extraction site can be grafted to preserve your natural bone to ensure the site is favorable for an implant sometime in the future.

Dr. Broome and his team routinely utilize the best grafting options to help patients preserve their bone and get ready for implants or keep their options open for implants at some point in the future. Placing bone graft material when a tooth is removed is the very best time to augment the area with new bone and to prevent further bone loss and attrition. Once bone loss occurs, it is significantly more expensive to replace and rebuild it.
