Tooth loss is an unfortunate reality for many patients, and although it may feel like you won’t ever be able to recover from a permanent missing tooth being extracted or falling out, know that we have countless options to help rebuild your smile. Our team does our best to preserve your natural teeth, but in certain situations where a tooth’s health is compromised, we may recommend extracting it. Our team can work with you to replace your extracted tooth with a dental implant crown or traditional bridge, so you don’t have to go any longer than necessary without a complete set of pearly whites.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Whenever possible, we’ll always try to repair and restore the health of your existing teeth. However, in the following situations, we may recommend extracting a tooth:

It is decayed and cannot be treated with a filling or other restoration.
If you suffer from crowding, a tooth needs to be removed before you can undergo orthodontic treatment.
Trauma has left a tooth cracked or otherwise damaged beyond repair.
Gum disease has caused a permanent tooth to become loose due to the deterioration of gum and bone tissue.

Tooth Extraction FAQs

The team always tries to repair and preserve a natural tooth first, but extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too decayed to be saved with a filling or other restoration, or when it's severely damaged, infected, or causing crowding.

The area is fully numbed before the procedure, so you shouldn't feel pain during the extraction itself. Some soreness during recovery is normal and typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

360 Dental Lounge can replace an extracted tooth with a dental implant crown or a traditional bridge, so you're not without a complete smile for longer than necessary. Which option is best depends on the location of the extraction and your overall treatment goals.

Most patients recover within a few days, though healing time can vary depending on whether the extraction was simple or more involved. Your dentist will give you specific aftercare instructions to support faster healing.
