From time to time, some of our patients need to have a tooth extracted. Although our goal is to always help you preserve your natural teeth, dental tooth extractions at our Doylestown and Southampton, PA dental office locations are sometimes an essential part of the smile rehabilitation process.
Does My Tooth Need To Be Pulled?
Why would we pull a tooth? Most of the time it is because it is impossible to restore the tooth at all, due to conditions like:
- Severe Gum Disease
- Extensive Decay
- Large Fractures
- Emergencies
- Trauma
- Infection
- Pain
When it is not possible to repair the tooth, we perform a tooth extraction it to prevent the infection from spreading to other areas inside of your mouth.

Replacing Your Missing Tooth
After having a tooth pulled, you will need to replace it in a timely manner. A new, open space in your smile can make other teeth drift out of place. That’s why we will provide you with options such as a dental bridge, implant, or partial denture for you to choose from.
In most cases we will review these options with you prior to the extraction, so that you can have an action plan for restoring your smile as quickly as possible.
If you need to have a tooth pulled but have been putting it off, call us today. We’ll be happy to answer any questions that you may have on dental extractions and other general dentistry services including preventive care.
