Extractions in Baraboo

Reasons You May Need a Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction provides relief from discomfort, disease progression and problems caused by poorly positioned teeth. We provide a no-pressure approach to dentistry, and our dentists will discuss your options with you to determine if tooth extraction is right for you.

Common Reasons For Needing a Tooth Extracted

Tooth decay Tooth decay can cause pain and contribute to disease. It is common practice to remove decayed teeth.

Fractured teeth When a tooth is fractured, sensitive areas are exposed, causing discomfort and vulnerability to infection.

Disease When a tooth is diseased, an extraction can help prevent issues from spreading to your gums and other teeth.

Impacted wisdom teeth Impacted wisdom teeth are prone to hard-to-manage cavities, and they can crowd or damage surrounding teeth. Wisdom teeth are often removed proactively to prevent dental and oral health problems from developing.

The Tooth Extraction Procedure: What to Expect

The tooth extraction procedure can vary depending on the goal and reasons for the removal. In general, expect:

  • A form of local anesthetic
  • Removal via a simple or surgical extraction
  • In some cases, teeth require sectioning (the tooth is divided into sections and removed one section at a time)
  • Recovery

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a tooth appliance used to replace missing teeth. The bridge consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, held in place by crowns or implants. Dental bridges can be either fixed, where they are permanently attached to adjacent teeth or implants, or removable for easier cleaning. Learn more about Bridges

Dentures

A denture is an appliance inserted in the mouth to replace teeth and provide support for the cheeks and lips. Dentures are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination of both. Complete dentures can be attached to dental implants for a more secure fit. Learn more about Dentures
