Tooth Extractions
Tooth pain, extensive damage, or infection can make everyday life uncomfortable—and sometimes, the healthiest choice is to remove the problem tooth entirely. At Rochester Dentist in the Hills, we offer gentle, expert tooth extractions designed to protect your comfort and restore your oral health, all in a warm, hometown environment where you feel cared for from the moment you arrive.
Why Might a Tooth Need to Be Extracted?
In dentistry, preserving your natural teeth is always our goal—and, as ironic as it sounds, sometimes extracting a troublesome tooth is the best way to achieve that. Extractions are recommended if a tooth is severely decayed or fractured, causing pain and risking infections that can expand to the surrounding teeth or bone.
Our Tooth Extraction Services
Simple Extractions
Simple extractions are used when the tooth is fully visible above the gumline and can be removed without surgical intervention. These procedures are typically quick, comfortable, and performed under local anesthesia.
Surgical Extractions
Some teeth require more advanced removal techniques—especially if they’re impacted, broken below the gumline, or difficult to access. In these cases, we perform a surgical extraction, which may involve making a small gum incision or gently reshaping bone to access the tooth safely.
At Rochester Dentist in the Hills, our team utilizes modern imaging, precision tools, and a comfort-centered approach to ensure smooth and stress-free surgical extractions.
Bone Grafting
After an extraction—especially when bone loss has already begun—bone grafting may be recommended to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone. This is especially important for patients planning future dental implants or those wanting to maintain facial structure and oral function.
