At Dentistry by Dr. Kaplansky, we believe that your natural teeth should remain in your mouth where they belong! We will do everything we can to help you keep your natural teeth; however, certain circumstances may arise in which you need a tooth removed:

If a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, it may need to be removed. If a tooth is infected, it may also need to be removed in order to prevent the infection from spreading. In some cases, wisdom teeth may need to be removed because they are Impacted (stuck and unable to erupt through the gum) or they may be causing crowding in the mouth. If you are getting braces, any teeth that are in the way of the braces may need to be removed. Your dentist will always try to save your natural teeth; however, there are some situations in which removal is necessary. Dentistry by Dr. Kaplansky offers tooth extractions as one of our many dental services. We understand that losing a tooth can be a difficult experience; however, our team is here to support you every step of the way!

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a chronic infection that causes damage to the tissue and bone that support your tooth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss. Dr. Igor Kaplansky offers effective treatment options for periodontal disease and will work with you to remedy the illness before it leads to tooth loss. In severe cases, however, the tooth may need to be removed. Dr. Kaplansky has extensive experience in performing this type of procedure and will ensure that it is done quickly and efficiently. You can rest assured that you are in good hands with Dr. Kaplansky. Schedule an appointment today to get started on your road to recovery.

Severe Decay is one of the main reasons why people have to get teeth extracted. Severe Decay occurs when the tooth decay has reached a point where it is beyond the point of being repaired with a root canal or other treatment. When this happens, it is important to get the tooth removed because if the decay is left untreated, it could lead to an infection. An infection can cause an abscess at the tooth’s root. If the infection is not treated, it could spread and cause more harm. Severe Decay is something that should be taken seriously and treated as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.

Crowding can cause a number of problems, including difficulty cleaning your teeth and an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. If you have crowding, your dentist may recommend removing one or more teeth to create more space. This could help prepare your mouth for orthodontic treatment. In some cases, crowding can also be caused by large teeth or a misaligned jaw. In these cases, dental surgery may be required to correct the problem. If you are concerned about crowding, talk to your dentist to find out if treatment is necessary.

Trauma to the teeth is not uncommon and can happen as the result of an accident or a fall. In some cases, the damage may be minor and the tooth can be repaired. However, if the injury is more severe, the tooth may need to be extracted. This can be a difficult decision for patients and their families, but it is sometimes necessary in order to preserve oral health. The removal of a tooth can be a simple procedure, but it is also a major surgery. Patients should weigh the risks and benefits of extraction before making a decision.
