Evaluate the tooth
We examine the tooth and surrounding structures and review alternatives before recommending removal.
Restorative dentistry
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be predictably restored or is creating another dental problem, extraction may be the right next step.
What to know
Start with a clear diagnosis and a conversation.
Skyline’s first goal is to understand whether a tooth can reasonably be saved. When removal is the better option, we explain why, help you know what to expect, and discuss replacement options when appropriate.
What to expect
A straightforward path from concern to next step.
Remove it comfortably
The area is numbed and the tooth is removed using the approach appropriate for the situation.
Plan healing and replacement
You receive aftercare instructions and, when relevant, we discuss options for replacing the missing tooth.
Common questions
Questions about tooth extractions?
We can answer questions about your specific situation after an exam.
Does a painful tooth always need to be pulled?
No. Depending on the cause and condition of the tooth, restorative treatment or root canal therapy may be possible.
What can replace an extracted tooth?
Potential options include an implant-supported restoration, bridge, or removable prosthesis. The right option depends on the location and your oral health.
Does Skyline remove wisdom teeth?
Skyline does not routinely remove third molars. The team can evaluate the area and help coordinate a referral when wisdom-tooth treatment is needed.
