SE Calgary Tooth Extractions
Removing a tooth that cannot be saved, with your comfort in mind.
Our main goal is always to preserve the health and longevity of your natural teeth. There are times, however, when an extraction is the most appropriate option. When your Heritage Dental Centre dentist recommends a tooth extraction, you can rely on safe, effective and efficient care, and our team will keep you as comfortable as possible from beginning to end.
Reasons for a Tooth Extraction
Preserving natural teeth is always our first priority. There are times, however, when a tooth extraction is the most appropriate way to maintain your overall dental health and well-being. An extraction may be needed in cases of extensive damage, severe injury, or conditions such as advanced periodontal disease or severe decay that cannot be repaired. Extractions may also be recommended if the position of a tooth interferes with future orthodontic treatment.
The Tooth Extraction Process
Before a tooth extraction, our team carefully reviews your medical history to make sure the procedure is appropriate for you. We then take an X-ray to check the position of the tooth’s roots and the surrounding bone. The procedure typically uses local anesthesia, with sedatives available if you need help to relax. Your comfort and safety come first throughout. Once the area is numb, the tooth is removed gently, with careful attention to preserving the surrounding bone.
For emergency extractions, we offer natural-looking tooth replacement options, such as dental bridges and implants, to restore both function and appearance. Whether your extraction is routine or urgent, our team is here for you at every step.
