Taking Care of Your Problem Tooth

Like any good dental provider, we at Athens Dental Associates want to save your teeth. It's better to have a healthy natural tooth than a smile gap or dental prosthetic. Sadly, not every pearly white can be saved. Some (including wisdom teeth) may require tooth extractions at our Athens dental office. This option protects your oral health from more serious problems down the road.

Why Choose Athens Dental Associates for Tooth Extractions?

  • Same-Day Emergency Dental Appointments
  • Multiple Forms of Dental Sedation
  • Wisdom Tooth Extraction Available

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

In all honesty, dentists view a tooth extraction as a last resort. Our practice will always suggest other procedures – a root canal, dental crown, etc. – before bringing it up. That means we’d only ever recommend this option when there’s no other choice.

We may suggest a tooth extraction for conditions like:

  • Severe Tooth Damage or Decay
  • A Spreading Tooth Infection
  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth
  • Dental Overcrowding
  • A Wedged or Stuck “Baby” Tooth
