What is an Emergency Tooth Extraction?

An emergency tooth extraction is the urgent removal of a tooth because the patient suffers from unbearable pain, infection, or trauma.

Before we start, we numb the area with anesthesia and administer sedation if necessary. Then, we make an incision in the gumline, remove the problematic tooth, and close the extraction site with stitches.

Will I Need a Replacement Tooth After an Emergency Extraction?

Depending on the location of the extracted tooth and your dental health, we may recommend a replacement option to preserve your smile’s function and looks. Here’re some possible options:

Dental Implants

Titanium posts fixed to the jawbone to support a replacement crown. They’re permanent and non-removable.

Bridges

Fixed prosthetic devices that replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
