Ease Discomfort and Restore your Health with Gentle and No-stress Tooth Extractions

We can’t stress this enough: recommending tooth removal is always the “last resort” at Earl E. Gaball, DDS in Battle Creek, Michigan. We have several dental restoration procedures to treat cavities, infections, and damaged teeth. But like most things in life, all of these aren’t 100 percent foolproof. If root canal therapy can’t save your tooth, dental extraction is the best thing to do to protect your oral health.

Is Tooth Removal Necessary?

We all love our natural teeth. So, when your dentist tells you that your tooth has to go, it is never the best news. However, you can view tooth removal positively if you consider its benefits. Tooth extraction saves you from oral discomfort and prevents infection from spreading to your gums and other surrounding structures.

If Dr. Earl Gaball recommends tooth extraction, it’s because of one of the reasons below:

• A severely decayed or damaged tooth, not salvageable by a root canal
• Impacted wisdom tooth
• Loose teeth due to advanced periodontitis
• To pave the way for orthodontics
• A tooth is broken below the gum line

We understand the emotions that tooth removal can stir up. Our dental team puts themselves in your shoes and provides gentle extraction that we would wish for ourselves and our loved ones.

Our Gentle Approach to Dental Extraction

Dr. Gaball plans your tooth removal procedure by taking digital X-rays to help him know what he is dealing with ahead of the procedure. Better planning guarantees comfort and a successful outcome, with little time spent in the dental chair.

Before pulling out your tooth, we numb your mouth to reduce discomfort. If you have extreme dental anxiety, we will discuss sedation dentistry options available at our clinic. Once you are settled, we use gentle tools and techniques to pull out your tooth.

If your tooth is impacted or broken below the gum line, we will perform a surgical extraction. After administering anesthesia, we cut an opening on your gum for the trapped tooth to be accessed. We then break it into pieces for ease of removal. The final step is to clean and suture the surgical site. Finally, we give you aftercare tips for a smooth recovery.
