Teeth Extractions in Mishawaka | Dental extractions | Michiana Dental

However, in some cases, an extraction may be the only option. An extraction refers to the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It may need to be performed for any of the following reasons:

• Manifestation of deep decay in the tooth
• Damage to a large portion of the tooth due to infection or trauma
• Crowding of teeth in the mouth
• Preparation for orthodontic treatment or another procedure
• Impaction of the wisdom teeth, a condition where a wisdom tooth does not erupt fully, or erupts at an angle, causing pain and increasing the possibility of damage to the other healthy teeth.

Prior to the commencement of the extraction procedure, we will take an X-ray of your teeth to determine the best way to extract it. Local anesthesia is administered so that you do not feel any pain during teeth extraction.
