Tooth Extractions

Simpson Dental PLLC is committed to preserving natural teeth whenever it is possible. However, if a tooth is not restorable, we have many options available to help us remove the tooth while keeping you comfortable. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology such as the Spectra® Carbon Dioxide Laser, Piezo® surgical unit, and the Easy Extract® are all options to ensure that you feel as comfortable as possible throughout your time at our office. We may recommend tooth extraction if:

• A tooth is so severely damaged or decayed that an effective restoration (such as a filling, inlay, onlay, or crown) is not possible
• Serious infection has destroyed a large portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure
• There is not enough room for all of the teeth to properly fit in the mouth, resulting in severe crowding that cannot be corrected through orthodontic treatment alone
• A baby (primary) tooth is not falling out as usual and is blocking the way for an erupting permanent tooth
