Tooth Extractions Marietta, GA

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your oral health when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed or impacted. While the idea of removing a tooth may seem daunting, modern dental techniques make the procedure comfortable and efficient. Our dentist and team provides compassionate and skilled tooth extractions in Marietta, Georgia, to help patients maintain healthy smiles and prevent further dental complications.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

Tooth extractions are typically recommended as a last resort when a tooth cannot be saved through restorative treatments. Some common reasons for needing a tooth extraction include:

  • Severe tooth decay: When a cavity has caused extensive damage beyond repair.
  • Gum disease: Advanced periodontal disease can loosen teeth, making extraction necessary.
  • Impacted teeth: Teeth, such as wisdom teeth, that cannot fully emerge or are growing incorrectly.
  • Overcrowding: Removing a tooth may be required to create space for orthodontic treatments.
  • Trauma or injury: A tooth that is fractured or broken beyond restoration may need removal.

Dr. Joshua Burton will carefully assess your situation and recommend extraction only when it is the best option for your oral health.

Benefits of Tooth Extractions

Although preserving your natural teeth is always the goal, there are several benefits to tooth extractions when necessary:

  • Pain relief: Removes the source of severe discomfort or infection.
  • Improved oral health: Prevents the spread of infection to neighboring teeth and tissues.
  • Prepares for future treatments: Creates space for dental restorations or orthodontic work.
  • Avoids further complications: Addresses issues before they lead to more significant problems.

We ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible, offering guidance and support every step of the way.
