What Are Dental Extractions?

Dental extractions involve the removal of a tooth that is damaged, decayed, or causing oral health issues. While preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, some situations require an extraction to protect your overall health and wellbeing.

At Bolduc Dental, we use advanced techniques and a compassionate approach to ensure extractions are as painless and stress-free as possible. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex procedure, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

When Is a Dental Extraction Necessary?

You may need a dental extraction for reasons such as:

• Severe Tooth Decay or Infection: When a tooth is beyond repair with a filling or crown.

• Crowded Teeth: To prepare for orthodontic treatment or create space for proper alignment.

• Gum Disease: When periodontal damage has weakened the supporting structures of a tooth.

• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: To prevent pain, infections, or damage to surrounding teeth.

• Trauma or Damage: When a tooth is fractured beyond repair.

What to Expect During Your Extraction

At Bolduc Dental, we prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the extraction process:

1. Consultation: We assess your tooth, discuss your options, and create a personalized treatment plan.

2. Preparation: A local anesthetic is used to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free procedure.

3. Extraction: Using advanced tools and techniques, we carefully remove the tooth with minimal discomfort.

4. Post-Extraction Care: Clear aftercare instructions are provided to support quick healing and comfort.
