Tooth Extractions in the Capital District
June 10, 2016
There may come a time when Dr. Erin Page recommend you have a tooth extracted. While tooth extractions are viewed as a last resort, it may be necessary. An extraction is needed when a tooth has become broken or damaged past the point of repair, has significant bone loss, infection or even a crack. In some cases, extraction may be preventative, such as wisdom tooth removal or necessary to create space in conjunction with orthodontic treatment to facilitate tooth alignment. Depending on the reason for the extraction, our Capital District dentists may recommend you have the tooth replaced with a prosthetic. Common tooth replacement options include dental bridges, dentures, or dental implants. As a comprehensive general dental practice that also offers the Capital District dental implants, we provide the extractions and prosthetics you need for a healthy, complete smile.
