Dental Extractions Collingwood
What is a dental extraction?
Are you looking for a dental extraction in Collingwood? Well, you’ve come to the right place! A dental extraction — sometimes called pulling or removing a tooth — is the procedure of taking out a tooth when saving it is no longer feasible. At Peaks Family Dentistry Collingwood, our dentists thoroughly assess your oral health and explore every possible option before recommending extraction as the best course of action.
Why would one need a dental extraction?
Various situations could lead to a tooth requiring extraction. These include severe overcrowding, infections that cannot be treated, cracked or broken teeth, or advanced gum disease. Removing a tooth can help alleviate pain, prevent further damage, or make room for orthodontic treatment.
