When Is Teeth Extraction Necessary?

There are many situations where it’s best to remove a tooth to protect your oral health. These typically involve those that are severely damaged or weak, which increases the risk of compromising nearby teeth.  Extraction is also common for third molars, which can emerge and move existing teeth out of alignment.

At North Star Family Smiles, Dr. El Bjeirami provides the following extraction services in San Antonio:

Simple Tooth Removal – If a permanent tooth or a third molar has erupted completely through teeth and gums, but is not viable or cannot be restored with a crown, Dr. El Bjeirami can simply remove it, using his experience to provide efficient care. The treatment site is thoroughly numbed before the tooth is removed.

Surgical Extraction – In instances where teeth have seriously decayed, surgical extraction is necessary. During this process, the tooth is split into small sections, allowing them to be carefully removed.  Creating minor incisions into the soft tissue may sometimes be necessary to completely remove the portions of the damaged tooth. Before surgical tooth extraction, we can provide nitrous and/or oral conscious sedation to ensure your treatment is comfortable. 

If IV sedation is required, or if your oral health evaluation reveals impacted wisdom teeth, Dr. El Bjeirami refers you to a trusted specialist. We take each patient on a case-by-case basis to ensure their well-being for simple or complex tooth removal.
