Gentle Extractions to Protect Your Oral Health

In most cases, we are able to repair any teeth that have developed decay or damage. Sometimes, though, a tooth can be in such a state that the only viable option is to remove it. When this is necessary, our team takes measures to keep a patient comfortable from beginning to end, including answering all questions beforehand and using plenty of local anesthetic. Following tooth extraction in Woodbridge, CT, we may recommend that you receive a custom restoration to replace the lost tooth.

Why We Might Remove a Tooth

Man with healthy smile

It has a cavity that is too big to be repaired with a filling, inlay, onlay, or crown
The enamel is so badly damaged that it cannot support a restoration
A severe infection has weakened the bone supporting the tooth
A baby tooth is interfering with the development of a permanent tooth
More room is needed in the mouth for a denture or upcoming orthodontic treatment

After an extraction, you may experience some soreness around the treatment site for a few days. Within a week or so, you should be able to resume your normal diet and daily activities.
