Tooth Extractions
At Soni Dentistry, we provide safe and comfortable tooth extractions for patients of all ages in London, Ontario. While our goal is always to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, there are times when removal is the best option for your oral health.
When Tooth Extractions Are Needed
- Baby teeth that do not fall out naturally due to misshapen or long roots, making way for permanent teeth
- Severely decayed teeth that could threaten surrounding teeth and jaw health
- Infections that cannot be treated with other restorative procedures
- Orthodontic correction to improve alignment and bite
- Problematic wisdom teeth that are impacted or causing discomfort
The Extraction Procedure
Every tooth is held in your jawbone by a ligament within a “tooth socket.” During an extraction, your dentist gently expands the socket and separates the tooth from the ligament to remove it safely. Depending on the situation, the extraction may be performed during a regular appointment or scheduled separately for more complex cases.
Your comfort is a priority. We encourage you to discuss any concerns or sedation preferences with your dentist. Options such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, or IV sedation are available for patients who require additional relaxation during the procedure.
Restoring Your Smile After an Extraction
Once a tooth is removed, neighboring teeth can shift, potentially affecting chewing, bite alignment, and jaw joint function. To prevent these complications and maintain your smile, your dentist may recommend restorative options such as:
- Dental implants to replace single or multiple missing teeth
- Bridges to restore function and prevent shifting
- Dentures for partial or full tooth replacement
These solutions help maintain oral health, preserve jaw function, and keep your smile looking natural.
