Tooth Removal / Extractions Chester, VA

Permanent teeth are meant to last for your entire adult life, but there are times, such as when your tooth is causing extreme pain, or affecting the rest of the teeth, that removing the tooth is the best option. It is always our goal to save a patient’s tooth whenever possible. However, removing a tooth is sometimes necessary so that a patient’s other teeth and the rest of their mouth remain healthy.

You may need a tooth extracted for the following reasons:

Although removing a tooth is typically a last resort, if you need a tooth extraction, you can rest easy that our team’s years of dental experience will get you back to your normal life. We’ll take all the time you need to help you feel comfortable and relaxed. And, of course, we’ll make sure the area around your tooth is completely numb so that you don’t feel a thing.

When necessary, we can also remove wisdom teeth. Yours will need to be extracted if they are coming through at the wrong angle, are trapped under other teeth, or have only partially emerged. Wisdom teeth left alone in any of these circumstances can damage your other teeth or cause decay or infection. After your initial exam and X-rays, if it seems like your tooth extraction or wisdom teeth removal needs the services of an oral surgeon, Dr. Felton will refer you to a trusted specialist in our area. We always want to do what’s best for you and your long-term health.
