Our Kelowna dentists provide tooth extractions for wisdom teeth and for teeth that have experienced extensive damage.
What is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Tooth extractions are generally performed when a less invasive options would be ineffective, or if a tooth is compromising the health of your mouth.
Request AppointmentWisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are commonly extracted because they are causing pain or discomfort due to a lack of adequate room in the mouth.
In most cases, it is beneficial to remove them at a young age (17-25) to reduce the possibility of future complications and help preserve a healthy mouth.
Extensive Damage
In cases where a tooth is too badly damaged to be saved, it must be extracted. If a tooth requires extraction, your dentist will discuss options for tooth replacement with you, including dental bridges, dental crowns, and dentures.
Dental implants and bone grafting may also be used to augment the remaining tooth socket.
