Tooth Extraction

Tooth decay is one of the most common dental ailments patients can experience, something every dentist tries to prevent and treat through proper dental care. However, in some cases, a tooth may become too damaged to keep in the smile; alternatively, the mere presence of impacted or wisdom teeth may risk the health of other teeth in the smile. For instances like these, Dr. Gray recommends tooth extraction in Waukegan, Libertyville, Gurnee, Wadsworth, Lindenhurst and the surrounding communities. We care about the comfort of our patients and hence provide painless teeth removal treatment.

Simple Tooth Extractions

Sometimes, adult teeth normally present within the smile must be extracted due to extreme decay. Improper oral hygiene may allow bacteria to cause tooth decay, even if oral health habits are improved later in life. Certain traumas can also cause the death of a tooth’s inner pulp; if a root canal is unsuccessful or not performed by a certain time, the death of this tissue may necessitate the extraction of the tooth.

Our Gurnee dentist can perform most simple extractions for decayed teeth. Removing these teeth prevents the rest of your smile from experiencing gum disease, infection or further tooth decay.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom Teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to enter the smile. Unfortunately, these teeth often enter a smile that is not large enough for them. This lack of room increases the risk of impaction with wisdom teeth and the possibility of a wisdom tooth eroding neighboring teeth, exposing them to decay. The eruption of wisdom teeth in some patients endangers the smile.

Our Gurnee dentist can perform some wisdom teeth extractions, depending upon each case she sees. Because of the complex nature of these treatments, you may have to be referred to an oral surgeon. An appointment with Dr. Gray will help you determine the best way to treat your wisdom tooth.
