Dental Extractions Long Branch Toronto

At Toronto Lakeshore Dental, our top priority is to help you achieve and maintain the healthiest smile.

There may be times, however, when extracting a tooth becomes necessary for your oral health. When that happens, your Etobicoke dentists are here for you. We even offer options for sedation that will help you feel more comfortable during your dental procedure.

When Will I Need a Tooth Extraction?

Many times wisdom teeth cause problems. They infringe on other teeth and fail to fully erupt. Or they can be challenging to clean with your toothbrush and dental floss, leaving you vulnerable to tooth decay and infection.

If these things happen to you, our Etobicoke dentists will talk to you about extraction, including how many wisdom teeth need to be pulled. 

Extraction is typically the best choice if a tooth is infected, broken, or damaged beyond repair. Dr. Joo is gentle and highly skilled. He will thoroughly numb the treatment area before starting work. We also offer dental sedation in Etobicoke for patients who may need extra assistance to relax and feel at ease during dental treatment. 

If you’ve had to extract a tooth other than a wisdom tooth, you may want to consider your options for replacing that tooth. A missing tooth dramatically affects your quality of life in several ways. It can negatively impact your confidence, nutrition, overall health, and well-being, not to mention the adverse effects on your oral health.

There are many excellent options for replacing missing teeth, and our dentists can discuss these options with you to help you select the best option for your needs.

Some of the options our doctors may discuss with you include:

• Dental Implants – These are considered the best replacement for your tooth because they most closely mimic your natural tooth.
• Dental Bridge – This option uses a prosthetic tooth to take the place of your missing tooth and utilizes your healthy teeth as anchors.
• Partial Denture – Partials are typically an option for patients who are missing multiple teeth. Partial dentures anchor your teeth with a metal clasp and fill open spaces with prosthetic teeth like a puzzle piece.
• Full Denture – This is the best option for patients who are missing most, or all, of their teeth. A denture is a removable prosthetic typically made of acrylic.

Having a tooth extracted is never good news; however, the process may seem less daunting when you’re in the hands of exceptionally trained professionals such as Dr. Joo, Dr. Moore, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Kim. Please call our Toronto dental office for more information.
