Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your overall oral health and prevent more significant dental issues. Whether you are dealing with severe decay, overcrowding or impacted teeth, extractions can provide relief and set the foundation for a healthier smile. Dr. Jasvinder Badwalz, Dr. Gagan Bhullar and Dr. Rajdeep Singh Badwalz, our skilled dentists, offer gentle and effective tooth extraction in Merced, California.

When Are Tooth Extractions Needed?

While preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, certain situations may require tooth removal to ensure your oral health. Common reasons for extractions include:

  • Severe Decay or Damage: When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling or crown.
  • Overcrowding: Preparing for orthodontic treatment or relieving overcrowded teeth.
  • Impacted Teeth: Removing teeth, such as wisdom teeth, that are unable to erupt properly.
  • Infection: Addressing infection that cannot be resolved with other treatments.
  • Periodontal Disease: Removing teeth compromised by advanced gum disease.

Extracting a problematic tooth can prevent pain, infections and other complications.

Benefits of Tooth Extractions

Undergoing a tooth extraction can offer significant benefits, including:

  • Pain Relief: Eliminates discomfort caused by a damaged or infected tooth.
  • Improved Oral Health: Prevents the spread of decay or infection to surrounding teeth and gums.
  • Supports Future Treatments: Creates space for orthodontics, implants or dentures.
  • Prevents Complications: Avoids issues such as misalignment, abscesses or bone damage.
