There are many reasons a tooth might need to be extracted, including:
Severe tooth decay that can’t be restored
Impacted or painful wisdom teeth
Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
Over-retained baby teeth
Severe crowding that requires tooth removal to create space for orthodontic treatment
At 803 Dental, we perform most extractions right here in our office, saving you the time and expense of a referral to a specialist.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically begin to emerge between the ages of 16 and 25. Though they often grow without symptoms, they can cause problems as they develop. Common issues include:
Impacted wisdom teeth, which can push against other teeth and cause misalignment
Decay and infections, since their location makes them hard to clean properly
Pain and swelling from trapped or partially erupted teeth
We offer in-office wisdom tooth extractions for straightforward cases, but if a procedure is more complex, we’ll recommend you to a trusted oral surgeon for specialized care. Your comfort and well-being are always our top priority!
