Tooth Extractions
Convenient Care at Premiere Dental
Tooth extractions can be required in a number of situations. Sometimes they’re performed in an emergency procedure after trauma or injury, while other times they’re used to prevent a future problem from occurring, as is the case with wisdom teeth removal. Premiere Dental offers top-quality tooth extraction services in Northeast Philadelphia, West Deptford, and Abington.
The right solution for a healthier smile
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
No matter what your situation is, Premiere Dental provides extractions for patients who are experiencing pain and discomfort or who have an infection caused by a tooth that is damaged beyond repair. Surgical extraction may be required in some circumstances, but simple extractions are also performed if the tooth appears above the gum line. Before deciding on any extractions, we will administer a dental exam and take digital x-rays to determine the extent of the damage and establish the most appropriate plan of treatment moving forward.

WHAT IS TOOTH EXTRACTION?
Protecting Your Health
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket when it cannot be restored. This may be necessary due to severe decay, infection, trauma, overcrowding, or impacted wisdom teeth. Our goal is to make the procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
REASONS FOR TOOTH EXTRACTION
Why Extractions May Be Necessary
Tooth extraction is sometimes the best option for protecting your overall oral health, especially when a tooth can't be saved through other treatments. From severe decay to overcrowding, here are the most common reasons your dentist may recommend an extraction.
Severe Decay or Damage
When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired or restored.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth that cause pain, swelling, or alignment problems.
Gum Disease
To prevent infection from spreading and protect surrounding teeth.
Infection or Abscess
Remove the source of infection and relieve pain and swelling.
