Comfort-Focused, Expert Care from Trinity River Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center
Tooth Extractions
At Trinity River Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, our top priority is preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, a tooth extraction is the best course of action for your long-term oral health. Whether due to trauma, infection, or overcrowding, our board-certified oral surgeon, Dr. Todd Kovach, provides safe, efficient, and comfortable tooth removal using the latest techniques and technology.
Located in Willow Park, TX, we proudly serve patients throughout the greater Fort Worth area and Parker County.
Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction
Tooth extractions may be recommended for a number of reasons, including:
- Severe Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can loosen teeth by damaging the bone and supporting tissues.
- Dental Injuries: Teeth that are fractured beyond repair due to trauma may need to be removed.
- Severe Tooth Decay: If decay extends deep into the tooth and cannot be treated with a crown or root canal, extraction may be necessary.
- Overcrowding: Removing teeth can relieve crowding and support orthodontic treatment.
- Stubborn Baby Teeth: Baby teeth that don’t fall out on time can block permanent teeth from erupting properly.
- Wisdom Teeth Problems: Impacted, infected, or painful wisdom teeth are often best removed to protect your oral health.
- Extra Teeth: Supernumerary (extra) teeth can prevent adult teeth from erupting properly or damage adjacent healthy teeth.
If your dentist or orthodontist has recommended extraction, they may refer you to our practice for advanced care.
What to Expect During Your Tooth Extraction
