Safe. Gentle. When Necessary.
While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, there are times when a tooth extraction becomes the healthiest option. Whether due to advanced decay, infection, crowding, or trauma, removing a tooth can provide relief, prevent further issues, and support your overall oral wellness.
At Seaside Smiles, we take a supportive, collaborative approach to extractions—focusing on comfort, clear guidance, and a smooth recovery.
There are several situations where a dental professional may recommend removing a tooth, including:
✓ Severe decay or infection that cannot be restored
✓ Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) affecting tooth stability
✓ Cracked or broken teeth beyond repair
✓ Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
✓ Overcrowding that prevents orthodontic treatment
✓ Preparation for dentures or other prosthetics
If extraction is recommended, it’s to prevent more serious oral health complications and support long-term wellbeing.
Tooth extractions are routine dental procedures performed with precision and care. Seaside Smiles works in partnership with local dentists and oral surgeons to ensure you receive the most appropriate care based on your situation.
Here’s how we help before, during, and after your extraction:
✓ Assessment & Referral: We evaluate your symptoms, explain your options, and refer you to a trusted dental professional for treatment if needed.
✓ Patient Education: You’ll know what to expect, how to prepare, and how to care for yourself afterward.
✓ Aftercare Support: We follow up with hygiene care and personalized guidance to ensure your healing stays on track.
Dental extractions can feel overwhelming—but they don’t have to be. With modern techniques, local anesthesia, and clear post-procedure instructions, most patients experience minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery.
We’ll be with you every step of the way to make sure you feel informed, supported, and confident in your care plan.
After an extraction, it’s important to consider tooth replacement options to maintain oral function and aesthetics. Depending on your needs, we can discuss:
Dental implants
Bridges
Partial or full dentures
We’ll help coordinate with your dental team to plan the next steps that are right for you.
If you’re dealing with a painful, damaged, or problematic tooth, schedule an evaluation. Early attention can help prevent the need for more complex treatment and keep your mouth healthy.
Don’t ignore the signs of tooth decay. Prompt treatment helps prevent more serious dental issues down the road.
