Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are a standard dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the bone. At Bishop Ranch Dentistry, led by the well-respected Nelson Wong, DDS, the team of dental professionals is skilled at performing tooth extractions with the utmost care and precision.

With a focus on comprehensive oral health, Bishop Ranch Dentistry is a reliable choice for tooth extraction procedures, ensuring you receive the best care possible.

There are several reasons why a tooth extraction may be necessary. The most common cause is severe tooth decay and cavities; when a tooth is extensively damaged and cannot be restored, removal is often the best course of action to prevent the spread of infection. Similarly, in situations of gum disease, where the infection has loosened the tooth's support in the jaw, an extraction may be required. Another reason may be to create room in a crowded mouth, in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Impacted teeth, most commonly wisdom teeth, which are unable to emerge naturally or are causing discomfort, often necessitate extraction. With each case, our team at Bishop Ranch Dentistry carefully assesses the condition and considers all possible alternatives before deciding on extraction.
