Tooth Extractions
Dr. Xiaochen Zhou may recommend a tooth extraction if your teeth are severely damaged and cannot be restored to their full health and function. By removing the damaged tooth from your mouth, we can prevent additional damage from occurring and begin the process of helping you regain your smile. To learn more about tooth extractions in Portland, Oregon, and schedule an appointment with our dentist, call Zhou Dental Care at 503-282-3884.
Much like the name suggests, tooth extractions are the removal of teeth. Our skilled dentist will only suggest removal if your teeth cannot be repaired with traditional dental restorations, such as dental fillings, dental inlays or onlays, or dental crowns.
The most common reasons for tooth extractions are:
Infection
Tooth decay
Crowding
If it is determined that a tooth must be removed, our dentist will carefully extract the problem tooth and take every precaution to help your experience be as comfortable as possible. During a personalized consultation before the procedure is scheduled, we will also discuss replacement options with you, which will help you choose the correct treatment to restore the function, health and beauty of your smile. After your tooth is extracted, our dentist and team will provide you with a list of instructions on how to keep your mouth healthy as you heal.
