When a tooth needs to come out
We always try to save your natural teeth first. Sometimes, though, a tooth is too damaged, infected or crowded to keep. Removing it can relieve pain and protect your other teeth.
Wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth often don't have room to come in properly. They can get stuck, push other teeth, or become hard to clean. Dr. Bhatti removes many wisdom teeth right here in our office. If yours are deeply impacted or complex, we'll refer you to a trusted oral surgeon.
What to expect
- An exam and X-ray to plan the extraction
- Complete numbing so you feel pressure, not pain
- Clear aftercare instructions and a follow-up if needed
- Options to replace the tooth, like an implant or partial denture
