Oral Surgery

Choosing Tooth Extraction for Optimal Dental Health

The procedure of extracting or "pulling" teeth is classified as the simplest form of oral surgery. When a tooth has experienced severe decay or trauma or gum disease has taken over the tissues surrounding it, this solution is sometimes necessary. While it is preferable to try to save the natural tooth with dental services like fillings, crowns, and root canals, there are certain cases where an extraction is the best option for your dental health.

At Optimal Dental Care in Sarasota, FL we’ll carefully help you identify the circumstances in which oral surgery is the best treatment plan.

These include:

  • Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
  • Teeth that have been severely damaged and cannot be restored
  • Baby teeth that are "stuck" or preventing permanent teeth from erupting
  • Loose teeth that require extraction to prepare for full or partial dentures

Dental work can cause anxiety for many people. We care about your concerns and will go above and beyond to ease your mind and ensure that your experience is a positive one each and every time you visit us for dental services.

We know that no one looks forward to having teeth extracted, but if you require oral surgery, our team at Optimal Dental Care in Sarasota, FL is among the most skilled and compassionate in the area.
