At Douglas Pike Smiles, we understand that the decision to have a tooth extracted can be daunting. However, in some cases, removing a tooth is necessary to protect your overall oral health. Dr. Abhishek Kapoor is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable and compassionate environment for patients undergoing tooth extractions. Our goal is to ensure you understand the process and feel supported every step of the way.
Why Tooth Extractions May Be Necessary
Tooth extractions can be vital for several reasons:
- Severe Decay or Infection: When a tooth is too damaged to save through restorative methods.
- Overcrowding: To prepare for orthodontic treatment that requires additional space.
- Risk of Infection: In cases where a compromised immune system increases infection risk, such as before chemotherapy or an organ transplant.
- Impacted Teeth: To remove teeth that have not properly erupted through the gums.
The Tooth Extraction Process
Our process is designed to ensure your comfort and health:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Our dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth and use X-rays to determine the best approach for extraction.
