At Eagan Dental Care, our understanding team offers patients a soft touch when it comes to dental extractions, making the process quick and easy.
Our skilled dental team, led by Dr. Michael, tries to save your natural teeth whenever possible. However, sometimes an extraction is the best choice for your overall oral health and dental situation.
If you require tooth removal in Eagan, MN, look no further than Eagan Dental Care.
A dental extraction is a procedure for removing a tooth that we can no longer restore through dental treatments. Mainly, this happens to teeth that are:
Broken or cracked teeth that we cannot restore using dental crowns or dental bonding may require extraction.
If a tooth infection or abscess is not responding to antibiotics, or the infection is too severe to remove through a root canal, a dental extraction may be the only treatment.
Advanced periodontal disease that affects the gum or bone tissues around a tooth can weaken or loosen the tooth. To save the tooth from the growing infection, we may need to extract it.
In addition, teeth crowding is another reason for dental extractions. Dentists commonly remove wisdom teeth for this reason. If the patient doesn’t have room for their wisdom teeth, it can lead to a variety of problems.
Overcrowding can affect your bite and make your teeth difficult to keep clean, resulting in decay or the development of gum disease. Patients also often want to fix overcrowding issues due to aesthetics.
If you are interested in improving your smile through dental extraction, schedule a consultation at Eagan Dental Care or call us at (651)-452-5511.
After your procedure, proper care and rest are essential to a successful recovery. If you are receiving tooth replacement treatment after an extraction (such as a dental implant, bridge, or dentures), your mouth must fully recover before the next stage of your treatment.
Here are some tips to keep in mind following your extraction:
If you have ongoing pain after the procedure or other concerns, call us to let us know. We want you to heal quickly and with as little discomfort as possible, and we are here to offer advice.
Contact our practice to schedule a consultation with Dr. Michael for your dental extraction. Dr. Michael can discuss your expectations regarding your smile and develop a treatment plan that works for you.
We will use our gentle touch and years of expertise to make your extraction efficient and comfortable. Reach out to one of our team members by calling 651-452-5511.
