Tooth Extractions in Kitchener, Cambridge and Guelph

Dental Extractions in Kitchener, Cambridge and Guelph, ON

At Solar Dental, our priority is the health and stability of your teeth. While we strive to prevent tooth loss through meticulous cleanings, exams, and general dentistry treatments, there are cases where extraction is necessary.

Reasons for Extraction

• Advanced decay or damage beyond repair
• Severe periodontal disease
• Fractures or poorly positioned (impacted) teeth
• Orthodontic reasons, including baby teeth

Types of Extractions

Extractions can be simple or surgical, depending on the complexity. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are commonly removed due to lack of space or difficulty in cleaning.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

• Soft Tissue Impaction: Gum tissue doesn't retract, leading to periodontal issues.
• Partial Bony Impaction: Tooth partially erupts, causing cleaning difficulties and potential infections.
• Complete Bony Impaction: Tooth remains fully or partially submerged, often requiring surgical extraction.

Our Approach

Most extractions are outpatient procedures, with options for local anesthetic or oral sedation. Complex cases or patients with specific medical needs may be referred to an oral surgeon.

Tooth Replacement Options

We understand the importance of timely tooth replacement to prevent shifts in the smile or remaining teeth. Our office offers dental implants and other restorations to address tooth loss effectively.

Schedule a Consultation

If you're experiencing tooth pain or have concerns about extraction, schedule a consultation with our doctors. We'll assess your situation and recommend the best course of action for your dental health.
