When do Brampton area patients need to consider tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction is a much more common procedure than many Brampton area patients may realize. Dr. Rina Kotecha of Dentistry on 10 performs this procedure regularly in a variety of ways. Many
Preparation for orthodontics
Patients who have severe overcrowding within their smile and are going to have orthodontic work completed may have to have one or more teeth extracted to make room for the teeth to move into their proper positions. Permanent adult teeth can be extracted to allow more room within the dental arch to reposition the remaining teeth for a beautiful, functional smile.
Wisdom teeth removal
Wisdom teeth are well-known for becoming a serious problem for many patients. They can become impacted, become difficult to clean, or may cause misalignment within the dental arch due to overcrowding. These teeth, also known as the third molars, may be extracted before or after they erupt through the gum line.
Preparation for dentures
When patients have had extensive damage to their smile and are interested in replacing all their teeth within a dental arch with full cosmetic dentures, they may speak to the team at Dentistry on 10 about having the remaining teeth extracted. This may include both local anesthetics and sedation for optimum comfort. Once the teeth have been extracted, dental implants can be placed for implant-supported dentures and impression can be made to fabricate the new prosthetics for the patient.
Diseased or decayed teeth
Patients who have teeth that are diseased or decay past the
point of repair may need to have their teeth extracted. These teeth
often require simple extraction which is not invasive. Dr. Rina Kotecha
discusses with patients before their procedure the ways in which the
teeth can be replaced, including dentures, bridges, and dental implants.
If you are interested in having teeth removed for any of the
above reasons, now is a wonderful time to contact Dr. Rina Kotecha of
Dentistry on 10 to learn more about the ways in which the smile can be
improved in both health and beauty with these kinds of procedures.
