Tooth Extractions
At Millcreek Family Dental in Bountiful, we understand that preserving your natural teeth is always the priority.
However, certain situations may necessitate tooth extractions to maintain your overall oral health. Teeth that are severely damaged, extensively decayed, infected, impacted (such as wisdom teeth), or contributing to overcrowding may require removal.

Understanding Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction involves the careful removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. We perform this procedure with the utmost precision and care to support your comfort and well-being. Common reasons for tooth extractions include:
- Severe Decay or Damage: When a tooth is too compromised to be restored with fillings or crowns.
- Infection: To prevent the spread of infection that doesn’t respond to root canal therapy.
- Impaction: Teeth, especially wisdom teeth, that are trapped beneath the gum line and growing improperly.
- Overcrowding: To create space for proper alignment during orthodontic treatments.
