Simple Tooth Extractions

What is a Simple Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure involving removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It’s typically performed when a tooth cannot be saved due to severe decay, trauma, or when overcrowding in the mouth needs to be alleviated. Simple tooth extractions are straightforward procedures done under local anesthesia where the tooth is visible and easily accessible.

Here at Quarry Park Dental, we prioritize patient comfort and oral health, ensuring that simple extractions are conducted with precision and care. Whether it’s addressing an infection, or removing a tooth that’s beyond repair, our approach is minimally invasive with your well-being in mind.

A simple tooth extraction can help prevent the complications of tooth decay and gum disease, contributing to a healthier mouth and a more confident smile.

What Are Some of the Reasons for Tooth Extractions?

There are numerous reasons why a dentist might recommend a simple tooth extraction as the most suitable treatment option.

Preventing Infection and Decay – When a tooth is too damaged to save with a filling or crown, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of decay or infection to surrounding teeth and gum tissue.

Impacted Teeth – Teeth that are blocked from entering the mouth, often wisdom teeth, can cause pain, swelling, and can lead to infection, necessitating their removal.

Gum Disease – Advanced periodontal disease can cause the loosening of teeth, making extractions necessary to preserve the health of the jawbone and surrounding teeth.

Dental Trauma – Following an injury, teeth may be fractured or loosened and require removal if they can’t be saved by other means.

I have nothing but good things to say about Quarry Park Dental. I’ve been a patient for several years and the staff are all amazing. The service is also superior to any other dental clinics I’ve been to over the years. They use the latest technology and equipment. They are efficient, always on time and super friendly. I have been going through some personal challenges and the compassion they showed me during my last visit was absolutely incredible. I have referred some of my friends to them and they are also very happy. I’d highly recommend this clinic.

I’ve never experienced more helpful and friendly people in any dentist office I have been to. For someone who has high anxiety around going to the dentist or getting the bill, they have helped me to actually not dread going and to come up with good plans without making it overwhelming. I will continue to recommend them to anyone I know.

It really depends on each patient! Typically we recommend that adult patients visit a dentist once or twice a year, even if your mouth is in good condition. This way, you can get your teeth professionally cleaned regularly and maintain excellent oral health.

Toothaches are the main reason patients come to us. Pain is a sign that your body is telling you something is wrong. There could be decay, gum disease, or other dental problems below the surface. We also help those who have lost or broken a tooth. Don’t worry too much and book your next dental appointment with one of our family dentists today!
If your teeth hurt even a little bit, go to the dentist. Even if the pain goes away, there may still be a problem that needs to be checked. This can prevent the problem from getting worse and causing even more discomfort.

The Canadian Dental Association suggests that parents bring their baby to see a dentist when their first tooth comes in (or by their first birthday). This is important because it lets the dentist find any problems early on, before more teeth come in and the problems get worse. Our dentists are great with families and want to help keep your child healthy.
