Dental Extractions in Luverne, MN
Comfortable Dental Extractions
Dr. Tanner Brolsma always strives to preserve and restore your natural teeth whenever possible. However, there are times when a tooth cannot be predictably saved, and an extraction becomes the healthiest option.
At Luverne Family Dental, we take a gentle, thoughtful approach and perform most extractions in our office, helping you avoid the added time and expense of a referral whenever possible.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are your third molars, located in the very back of your mouth, and they usually begin to appear between the ages of 16 and 25. Wisdom teeth often grow unnoticed, but can begin to cause problems as they become larger. Some wisdom teeth are impacted and can affect the other teeth in your mouth.
Because wisdom teeth are so far back in your mouth, they are often difficult to keep clean, so it is very easy for them to develop large cavities, which in turn can become painful. While we do extract wisdom teeth at Luverne Family Dental, we will recommend an oral surgeon for more complicated procedures.
Why Do I Need a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is typically recommended only when a tooth cannot be predictably saved. Common reasons a tooth may need to be removed include:
Before moving forward, we will discuss your long-term plans for the area, if replacement is needed. While leaving the space is sometimes an option, missing teeth can lead to changes in appearance, shifting of the surrounding teeth, and difficulty with chewing or function over time.
Depending on your needs, dental implants, bridges, or dentures may be recommended to restore your smile and maintain proper function.
