Good oral hygiene should always be practiced, since the loss of a single tooth can have a major impact upon your oral health and appearance. Although our professional Grand Rapids dentists will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, it is still sometimes necessary to extract a tooth.
After careful examination and treatment, Great Lake Dental Care’s extraction dentist may advise you to have a tooth extracted. Before a tooth is removed, your Grand Rapids dentist will take an x-ray in order to better understand the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone. Based on the degree of difficulty, we may refer you to a specialist called an oral surgeon.
