Tooth Extraction Near You
We offer tooth extractions in Vancouver for both adult and baby teeth. Some baby teeth require extraction if they have not developed correctly or if they don’t fall out.
A common reason both adult and baby teeth may require removal is due to decay on the tooth. It is vital to act on tooth decay as soon as possible so as not to allow it to advance to other teeth or even the jaw. Wisdom teeth are also a frequent cause for tooth extraction in Yaletown. Once your dentist has extracted the faulty tooth or teeth, he/she will counsel you on implants, dentures, or bridges. Contact our dental clinic today to request a consultation for tooth extractions near you.
What to Expect during a Tooth Extraction?
Do you require tooth extractions in Yaletown? Your dentist might suggest that you have a tooth extraction as part of a routine visit or schedule it as an independent procedure, depending on your dental situation. To remove a tooth, your dentist widens the socket gradually so that it loosens from the ligament surrounding it. Upon loosening, the tooth is then extracted carefully. Following your extraction, there is a follow-up visit to our Yaletown dentist to track healing and make sure everything is proceeding as it should, picking up on any early possible issues if they occur.
