Tooth Extractions | Plantsville Family Dental

After your permanent teeth have grown in, extreme dental problems may require a tooth extraction in Plantsville, Connecticut. These cases and problems need to be properly diagnosed—all alternatives should be considered before deciding on tooth extraction. We encourage you to contact Plantsville Family Dental for more information and to schedule an appointment with our dentist, Dr. Thomas L. DeRienzo.

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. While we strive to avoid the need to remove a tooth whenever possible, certain conditions may make tooth extraction the most effective option for returning your smile to good health and function. Following the tooth extraction, we are happy to provide you with one of our excellent tooth replacement treatments, if needed, to restore your smile to optimal health, beauty, and function.

Several conditions may necessitate tooth extraction. Among these are:

● Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure● Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making a successful restoration impossible● Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth

Our DMD uses great care and skill when performing a tooth extraction to ensure that your dental experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. We will also provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions so you can properly take care of your smile as it heals.
