Although our caring dentists make every effort to preserve your natural teeth, there may be occasions in which you will need to have a tooth extracted. If your teeth are severely damaged, decayed, or overcrowded, you may need to have one or more teeth removed surgically.

Another common reason to have a tooth extracted is when you have impacted teeth. Wisdom teeth commonly require removal in order to maintain the overall health of your mouth. After examining your teeth, our dentists may recommend tooth extraction in order to improve your oral health by preventing the spread of infection and allowing your mouth to heal.

If you do require a tooth extraction, our friendly dental team at Gateway Oaks Dental will make sure that your procedure is as pain-free as possible and that you are comfortable and relaxed. Before and after we remove the tooth, we will discuss tooth replacement options if necessary, which can replace your natural tooth with a high-quality implant or prosthetic tooth.
