- Decay: If an infection has damaged the walls of a tooth too much, it may not have enough material left to repair.
- Accidental Damage: A tooth may have been struck in a car accident, sports injury or other source of damage.

Tooth Extraction in Springfield, MO
Tooth extractions might sound intimidating, but they’re often the best move for your overall dental health. Removing it can relieve pain and prevent future complications, whether due to severe decay, infection, crowding or a damaged tooth beyond repair. When a whole smile has been damaged by disease, an accident or other circumstances, we can extract every tooth under anesthesia. We can then replace your teeth with custom-crafted dentures for a new, great-looking smile. At Dove Dental Group, we use modern techniques and local anesthesia to make the process as quick and comfortable as possible.

Process
1. Evaluation and X-rays: We start with a dental exam and X-rays to determine if the tooth can be saved or if extraction is the best option. We’ll walk you through the plan and answer all your questions.
2. Numbing the Area: You’ll be fully numbed with local anesthesia so that you won’t feel pain—just some pressure. If you’re anxious, nitrous oxide sedation is available.
3. Tooth Removal? Once the surrounding gums are numb, we gently loosen the tooth and remove it. For surgical extractions (like impacted or broken teeth), we may make a small incision to access the tooth.
4. Gauze and Aftercare Instructions: We’ll place gauze to control bleeding and send you home with clear aftercare instructions.
