Our Vancouver dentists extract severely damaged or loosened teeth and wisdom teeth when necessary to help restore your oral health.
What is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Tooth extractions are performed when a less invasive option may be ineffective, or if a tooth is compromising your oral health.
Request AppointmentReasons for Pulling Teeth
Common reasons for pulling teeth can include:
- Excessive tooth damage as a result of decay or injury
- Infected tooth nerve that cannot be fixed with a root canal
- Loosened teeth caused by advanced gum disease
- Preparation for other dental procedures
- Problematic wisdom teeth
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are generally the last set of molars in the back of your jaw that grow in between the ages of 17 and 25.
These teeth may be useful if they grow in healthy and straight, but sometimes they are misaligned or impacted and need to be removed.
By extracting problematic wisdom teeth, your dentist can help reduce the possibility of oral health issues in your future.
