Dental Extractions

Saving Multiple Teeth by Removing One Tooth

Removing a tooth is something a dentist tries to avoid — our goal is to help you maintain your natural teeth for as long as possible. However, in some situations, extracting one tooth or multiple teeth is the best medical solution. In certain circumstances, extracting all the teeth is required.

A tooth may be too badly damaged through trauma or decay to save. It may have an infection that is at risk of spreading to neighboring teeth. We may need to prevent overcrowding that could misalign other teeth.

At Horan Family Dentistry, helping you keep your teeth and gums healthy is our priority, and we provide dental extractions as part of that treatment. Our dentist will consider your dental health, age, and other factors before recommending one. If you've suffered a dental injury or are in pain, please use our online form or call us for an appointment. Emergency dental services are available.

Dental Restorations for Extracted Teeth

If we do need to perform an extraction, we have restoration options that can replace the missing tooth. Our dental implants, bridges, and dentures can renew your smile. Please see our Cosmetic Dentistry page for details.
