About Extractions
What You Should Know Extraction
Our team handles tooth extractions with extreme care, with a focus on optimizing patient comfort throughout the process. Using our advanced Galileos 3D imaging system, we can locate your teeth in three dimensions, making diagnosis and treatment as seamless as possible.
Know Your Roots
A Photo Story Walkthrough
In an average case, we remove a tooth before there is any damage to the nerves running below the tooth. In image #5 (above), the nerve bundle travels through the jaw under the roots of these teeth.
Early Removal Is Best
Dentists prefer to remove impacted teeth when the roots are still short and not fully developed, as this makes the extraction much easier and safer. The arrows point right at the roots that have not finished growing yet. Notice how the roots are shorter than the roots of the other teeth.
Many Varieties
The blue arrows (above) show how some upper teeth can be positioned too high.The roots of these upper teeth may extend close to the sinuses. Removal of these teeth is made easier by having good imaging beforehand so that the sinus stays undamaged.
The red arrow (above) shows an impacted lower tooth. Although it looks like it is all the way in, notice how the jaw bone curves up right on top of this tooth image. This tells us that the tooth will never fit into the mouth and will always be impossible to brush adequately.
The black arrow (above) shows another example of an impacted tooth. Teeth like this should always be removed.
3D X-Rays Eliminate Surprises
These images show a tooth that is stuck (impacted) in the jaw. Around the top of this tooth is a hole in the bone that could be serious. 3D images from our Galileos Cone Beam Computerized Tomography system allow us (or a referred oral surgeon in some cases) to provide the best treatment without surprises.
