Types of Tooth Removal Services
- Simple extraction: This is the most common type of tooth removal and is typically used for teeth that are loose or easy to reach. During a simple extraction, the dentist will loosen the tooth with a dental elevator and then remove it with forceps.
- Surgical extraction: This type of tooth removal is used for teeth that are more difficult to reach or that are impacted (meaning they have not fully erupted through the gums). During a surgical extraction, the dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue and remove the tooth.
- Wisdom tooth extraction: Wisdom teeth are the four molars that are located at the back of the mouth. They typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Wisdom teeth can often become impacted, which can lead to pain, infection, and other problems. If a wisdom tooth is impacted, it may need to be extracted.
Why Might You Need a Tooth Removed?
There are a number of reasons why you might need a tooth removed. Some of the most common reasons include
- Cavity
A cavity is a hole in the tooth that is caused by bacteria. If a cavity is left untreated, it can grow larger and eventually lead to infection. In some cases, a cavity may be so large that the tooth needs to be extracted. - Gum disease
Gum disease is an inflammation of the gums that can be caused by poor oral hygiene. Gum disease can damage the tissues and bones that support the teeth, which can lead to tooth loss. - Impacted tooth
An impacted tooth is a tooth that has not fully erupted through the gums. Impacted teeth can often cause pain, infection, and other problems. In some cases, an impacted tooth may need to be extracted. - Broken tooth
If a tooth is broken, it may be able to be repaired with a filling or crown. However, if the tooth is severely broken, it may need to be extracted. - Crowding
If your teeth are crowded, it may be necessary to extract one or more teeth to create more space.

- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Teeth that are broken below the gum line
