Tooth extractions may be necessary when a tooth is damaged beyond repair or causing harm to your oral health. At Tropical Dental Care, we understand that tooth extraction can feel intimidating. We prioritize your comfort and well-being, ensuring the process is as smooth and painless as possible. Our experienced oral surgeon, Dr. Robert Hoffman, will take the time to explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to protect your oral health while maintaining a positive and caring environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

Tooth extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is no longer viable or poses a risk to surrounding teeth. There are many reasons why this may be the case, including:

  • Severe decay or infection that cannot be treated with a root canal
  • Overcrowding that prevents proper alignment
  • Impacted wisdom teeth that can cause pain or infection
  • Injury that has damaged the tooth beyond repair

In these cases, we will work with you to determine the best course of action for your dental health. Extractions are always a last resort, and we will explore all options before making this decision.

What to Expect During the Procedure

We prioritize your comfort during every step of a tooth extraction. The procedure itself is straightforward and typically requires local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. In some cases, a sedative may be recommended to help you stay relaxed. During the extraction, you can expect our team to be attentive to your needs and ensure you are comfortable at all times. Afterward, we will provide detailed care instructions to help you heal quickly and return to your daily routine.
