Tooth Extractions

Dr. Cristina Martha Smith will do everything possible to make sure you keep your natural teeth—after all, they are the best ones for your smile. But if a tooth is severely damaged or infected, it may need to be removed to protect your remaining teeth. If you have a tooth that has been causing discomfort, contact Sterling Smiles Dental at 970-526-6544 to find out if you need a tooth extraction in Sterling, CO.

When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

While we strive to avoid removing a tooth whenever possible, certain conditions may make tooth extraction the most effective option for returning your smile to good health and function. These include:

• Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure
• Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making a successful restoration impossible
• Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth

Comfortable, Compassionate Care

Our team uses great care and skill when performing a tooth extraction to ensure your experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. We thoroughly numb the area, and we provide detailed post-treatment care instructions so you can properly care for your smile as it heals. Following the extraction, we'll also discuss tooth-replacement options such as dental implants, a dental bridge, or a partial denture to restore your smile's health, beauty, and function.
