Tooth Extractions
While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, there are times when a tooth extraction is the best choice for your overall health. At Peculiar Family Dental, we perform extractions with precision and care, making your comfort our top priority.
Frequently asked questions
When does a tooth need to be extracted?
A tooth may need to be removed if it is severely decayed, cracked, infected, loose from gum disease, impacted, or cannot be predictably restored.
Will my extraction visit be comfortable?
Your comfort is a priority. The area is numbed carefully, and Dr. Matthew Tinnel can discuss comfort options based on your health history, anxiety level, and the complexity of treatment.
What should I do after a tooth extraction?
Follow the post-op instructions, avoid smoking or straws at first, keep the area clean as directed, and call the office if bleeding, swelling, fever, or pain seems unusual.
Can I replace a tooth after it is removed?
Often, yes. Replacement options may include a bridge, partial denture, full denture, implant crown, or implant-supported option depending on the site, bone, health, and budget.
