Making Tooth Extractions Convenient & Affordable for Savannah, GA, Residents

From severe tooth damage and decay to the growth of impacted wisdom teeth, there are many reasons why a tooth extraction may be necessary. Often referred to as “pulling a tooth,” a dental extraction involves the complete removal of a tooth from its socket. While extractions are a fairly common type of dental procedure, they can be stressful for many patients to think about. At Poston Dental, we want to help alleviate this stress for patients seeking restorative dental care at our Savannah, Georgia, office. As a local, family-owned practice, we prioritize the health, comfort, and satisfaction of our patients throughout every service we provide, including tooth extractions.  

Tooth Extractions: What You Need to Know Before Treatment

Healthcare professionals like the ones at Poston Dental use conservative methods of treatment whenever possible, but sometimes saving the natural tooth is no longer possible or best for the patient’s health. Tooth extractions are a good option in these cases, as well as when other restorative methods such as fillings and crowns are not enough. There are a wide number of reasons why an extraction may be recommended by your dentist, including if you have:

• A dental fracture  
• Severe tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease
• Crowded teeth
• Impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth
• A dental injury

Your dentist will first complete a comprehensive assessment to see if an extraction is the best form of treatment. If they decide that other options would not be effective, they will discuss the details with you before beginning treatment. Poston Dental is committed to maintaining clear, honest communication with our patients, ensuring that they have all the information they need to feel confident about the care they receive. When the time for your tooth extraction comes, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you feel comfortable.
