Extractions

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

Dentist Augusta

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is carefully removed from its socket in the jaw. Extractions are recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, infected, or causing crowding that affects the surrounding teeth. Wisdom teeth that are impacted or teeth that interfere with orthodontic treatment may also need to be removed. During the procedure, local anesthesia is typically used to minimize discomfort, and advanced techniques are employed to ensure the surrounding bone and gum tissue are protected. Tooth extractions prevent the spread of infection, relieve pain, and create the proper foundation for future dental treatments, such as implants, bridges, or dentures.

At Summerville Dentistry, tooth extractions are performed with precision and patient comfort as a priority.

  Very kind,  efficient and very knowledgeable staff.  I feel very well taken cared of at this practice. Highly recommend them! Recently had some broken tooth issues and with some other medical issues I was having at the time, made it difficult to communicate well with staff. Dr. Bish, Dr. Harper, Nikki (sp) were so accommodating, so helpful and did a great job! Have always enjoyed the great care of Robin and the front staff personnel were great!
