At Apple Dental, We Provide Dental Extractions in North Bend / Coos Bay

At Apple Dental in North Bend, our dentists have become experts in dental extraction by performing these types of oral surgeries every day. Although, these types of procedures can be painful, our dentists offer multiple pain free options, including sedation dentistry, to eliminate discomfort during dental extractions.

Some of the most common reasons for tooth extraction include:

  • Removal of extra teeth that block other teeth from coming in correctly.
  • Creating room for the teeth that are being moved into place by braces.
  • Badly decayed teeth that may need to be extracted.
  • Wisdom teeth extraction, which usual occurs during the late teens or early 20s.
  • Teeth that need extracted to make room for dentures.

Tooth extraction, or the removing of a tooth from the jawbone, is usually required when a tooth is damaged by decay or fractured beyond repair. A break in a tooth leaves an opening where bacteria can enter and infect the tooth’s core. This is very dangerous because it is possible for the infection to spread from the tooth’s root to the supporting bone, and to other parts of your body.

Symptoms of this type of infection include:

  • A sharp, shooting, throbbing or gnawing pain.
  • A noticeable oral odor, fever, teeth sensitivity, bitter taste or swollen gums
  • Swollen areas in the upper or lower jaw.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is recommended you call our North Bend dental office immediately and schedule an appointment. Never ignore a swollen jaw. If left untreated it may require hospital care.

It is our North Bend dentist’s number one priority to do whatever they can to prevent tooth loss and, thanks to the advances of modern dentistry, it’s usually possible. Unfortunately, in certain situations, removal of a tooth is the only solution. Don’t worry; this does not have to permanently affect your appearance! Missing teeth can be replaced with permanent and natural looking dental tooth implants. In fact, Dr. Brice is skilled at performing these procedures.
