Preserving your natural teeth is always our priority at Copper Mountain Dental. However, when a tooth is too damaged to be saved, an extraction may be necessary to protect your oral health and prevent further complications.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Dr. Addyson England may recommend removing a tooth if you are experiencing:
- Severe decay or infection that cannot be treated with a filling, crown, or root canal
- Advanced periodontal disease leading to bone and tooth loss
- Overcrowding, preventing proper tooth alignment
- Significant damage from trauma or fractures
- The need to prepare your mouth for orthodontic or restorative work
What to Expect During an Extraction
Tooth extractions are considered only when other treatment options are no longer viable. If an extraction is necessary, our team will ensure the procedure is as smooth and comfortable as possible. We offer local anesthesia and sedation options to manage pain and ease any anxiety you may have.
Dr. England will carefully remove the tooth, taking every precaution to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues. Afterward, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Replacing Your Tooth
Once the extraction site has healed, we can discuss tooth replacement solutions tailored to your needs. Options may include dental implants, bridges, or dentures—each designed to restore function and maintain the appearance of your smile.
