Why Choose Heim & Carroll DMD, LLC for Tooth Extractions?

When Do We Suggest Tooth Extractions?

Whenever possible, our team will always try to save your natural tooth structure, even if that means treating a tooth and fortifying it with a dental crown or filling. In cases where the damage is too extensive to do this, we may turn to tooth extraction to make sure that the infection or damage doesn’t result in worsening oral health problems. Here are some of the situations in which we may suggest removing a tooth:

The Process of Receiving a Tooth Extraction

Not all tooth extractions are the same, but for teeth that are already erupted and visible above the gumline, they can easily be removed using just a couple of gadgets. Our elevator will gently lift the tooth from its socket, allowing us to then go in with a pair of forceps to carefully wiggle the tooth free and remove it from the mouth. Surgical removals are a bit more complicated and can vary depending on your situation.

Tooth Replacement Treatments to Restore Your Smile

At Heim & Carroll DMD, LLC, we offer several different ways to restore your smile so you don’t have to have a gap in your mouth after you get a tooth or several teeth extracted. Depending on your situation, you could benefit from our custom-crafted dental bridges or full or partial dentures. We also offer a more permanent solution to tooth replacement, called dental implants.

Recovering from a Tooth Extraction

We’ll provide you with some helpful tips and tricks on how to make a fast recovery after your procedure. Typically, we recommend following these aftercare steps:
