Tooth Extraction in Kerrisdale

Teeth Extractions

Your overall dental health is what’s most important to us, and at times, it’s necessary to remove a tooth. Extracting the teeth may be required because of overcrowding (too many teeth in the mouth or not enough space), damage, or decay. Our dental team will always provide you with options that make the most sense for your long-term oral health and help you decide if tooth extraction is right for you.

Preserving Your Oral Health

Tooth decay, infections, damage to the teeth, and overcrowding can all be reasons to remove a tooth from the mouth. Many people are familiar with “wisdom tooth extraction,” which is performed if the final adult molars begin to erupt improperly or disrupt the other teeth, causing overcrowding. Our dentists can perform simple tooth extractions right here in our Vancouver dental offices.

After a Tooth Extraction

In the days after a tooth extraction, you’ll need to treat the area with extra care. A smooth and speedy recovery will depend on how closely you follow the after-care instructions provided to you. Follow-up appointments will sometimes be necessary to check on the healing progress. We may also need to plan for a tooth replacement that will give you back an even bite after losing a tooth. Be sure to reach out to our team if you have any questions about the procedure or after-care.
