Tooth Removal (Extractions)

At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry in Lowell, Massachusetts, we understand that the thought of a tooth extraction can be intimidating. Our team is dedicated to making the procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether your tooth needs to be removed due to extensive decay, infection, or other issues, our priority is your health, comfort, and well-being.

Why You May Need a Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth is too damaged or infected to be saved. This can occur from severe decay, trauma, or infection that cannot be treated with fillings or other procedures. In some cases, extractions are also part of a treatment plan, such as preparing for dental implants or braces. Dr. Luz uses his expertise to carefully assess each situation and determine the best approach for your needs.

The procedure involves removing the damaged tooth from its socket in the bone. Some teeth may be more straightforward to remove, while others may require a more complex process due to their position or root structure. Regardless of the difficulty, we aim to ensure the procedure is as smooth and painless as possible.

We understand that dental procedures, especially extractions, can be anxiety-inducing, which is why we prioritize clear communication and patient comfort. Before the procedure, we take the time to explain every step, answer any questions, and discuss options for local anesthesia to help keep you relaxed and pain-free during the procedure. Our goal is to make you feel at ease throughout the entire process.
