Tooth removal in Eatontown, NJ

Why Eatontown patients choose Seaview Dental for tooth removal

• We look for ways to save the tooth first. Extraction is recommended only when repair is not a predictable or healthy long-term option.
• Simple and surgical extractions in one office. We treat routine removals, broken teeth, and many impacted or difficult teeth, including wisdom teeth.
• Comfort options built into your plan. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, with nitrous oxide or oral sedation available when appropriate.
• A plan for what comes next. When a tooth needs replacement, we can discuss bone preservation and options such as a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture before treatment begins.

When does a tooth need to be removed?

We always evaluate whether a tooth can be restored before recommending removal. An extraction may be the healthiest choice when decay or a fracture extends too far below the gumline, an infection cannot be predictably resolved with root canal treatment, advanced gum disease has left the tooth without enough support, or overcrowding interferes with orthodontic treatment.

Wisdom teeth may also need removal when they are impacted, painful, infected, damaging a neighboring tooth, or difficult to keep clean. Your exam and imaging help us determine whether the tooth can be saved and whether a simple or surgical extraction is appropriate.

Simple vs. surgical Tooth Removal

A simple extraction is used when the tooth is visible above the gumline and can be gently loosened and removed. A surgical extraction may be needed when a tooth is broken near the gumline, has curved or difficult roots, or is partially or fully impacted beneath gum or bone.

In those cases, a small opening may be made in the gum, and the tooth may be divided into sections so it can be removed with less pressure on the surrounding area. We will explain the recommended approach, comfort options, recovery, and cost before treatment begins.

Is this right for you?

• You have a severely decayed, infected, loose, or broken tooth
• A wisdom tooth is painful, impacted, infected, or damaging a neighboring tooth
• You have swelling or tooth pain that needs prompt evaluation
• Another dentist has told you a tooth may not be restorable
