Tooth Extractions Grand Rapids
Preventing Oral Health Decline One Tooth at a Time
Tooth extraction may not be something our dentists ever want to perform, but it’s not out of the question if we feel like your oral health might be at risk. Our ultimate goal is to help you keep your teeth in place. However, if we find it necessary to remove one or more teeth, you can be sure that our team will go the extra mile to ensure quality, comfort, and efficiency from start to finish. Don’t wait to seek professional care if you are curious about a problematic tooth; instead, call our office today.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
Our dentists at O’Brien and Ellison DDS prefer to always use restorative dentistry to repair and save natural teeth. Unfortunately, since this is not always possible, we must resort to extraction, which is likely to be recommended if:
- Severe decay is affecting your tooth and spreading, posing a risk to your other healthy teeth
- Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) is now attacking the jawbone, causing it to weaken and make natural teeth loose
- Facial trauma has resulted in a broken tooth that cannot be successfully treated with a root canal and/or dental crown
- Your child’s permanent tooth needs to erupt, but it cannot because the primary tooth will not fall out
- Orthodontic treatment is required to create appropriate spacing throughout the mouth, but overcrowding is a current issue
