Extractions

Make Room for Improvements

Despite your best efforts, teeth sometimes need to be removed to protect your health. When we've discussed all other possibilities, and you've decided on extraction, we'll take every step to help you. Your well-being always takes priority in any treatment decision. Some patients prefer sedation to help with oral surgery, and we can review these options in your treatment plan. We take every measure to make sure even minor surgical procedures are as comfortable as possible.

Some teeth are easier to remove than others, but the Daley Dental team takes pride in helping every patient get numb with modern anesthesia. Once the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Daley will use specialized instruments to elevate the tooth out of place. You will receive specific post-op instructions to help you care for the area after your procedure.

While our immediate concern is removing the tooth, we will also discuss your long-term plans for replacing it. Leaving the space open is always an option, but gaps in your smile can create appearance and function challenges. Teeth slowly shift or migrate into open spaces and minimizing the effects of an unbalanced bite early can prevent issues later in life.

Our primary goal is to help your teeth stay healthy and functional. An extraction is sometimes the best way to preserve the overall health of your mouth. Dr. Daley will create a plan that fits both your short and long-term goals.
