tooth extractions in fort smith Dr. Aaron Simpson and his caring team will do everything in their power to save a damaged tooth. Every tooth has a place in your smile, and we have plenty of tools and skills to restore a tooth if it can be done.

Reasons We Recommend Tooth Extraction in Fort Smith, AR

The most common cause of tooth extraction is severe tooth decay, but that's not the only reason. One of the following could be why Dr. Simpson explores removing a tooth:

Teeth crowding
Wisdom teeth
Advanced periodontal disease
Compounded damage
Tooth trauma

Our goal is to prepare you for a necessary dental extraction, perform the procedure professionally, and finally promote quick recovery and replacement solutions for the long run.

We Make You Comfortable during Your Extraction

In many cases, your initial visit and examination will reveal if you need a dental extraction. We usually resolve the issue for those who keep regular dental checkups without pulling their tooth. But if Dr. Simpson recommends it, he will answer your questions and address your concerns.

Then, our next top job is to ensure you are comfortable during your procedure. One thing we offer which will help lessen pain and stress is nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. Dr. Simpson dispenses this through a small mask over your nose, and the effects persist so long as you need them. Most people describe the effects of nitrous oxide as pleasant detachment. Then, when your extraction is complete, Dr. Simpson will give you oxygen which clears the gas with no lingering side effects.

Tooth Replacement Options in Fort Smith, AR

tooth extractions in fort smith ar After you have healed from your tooth extraction, Dr. Simpson will emphasize that a missing tooth is an issue better corrected than left alone. Your teeth work as a team, so the space left after a dental extraction may destabilize the surrounding teeth. Another negative impact of a missing tooth is jawbone degradation.

You may discuss your options with Dr. Simpson as part of your treatment plan. Restorations like dental implants, dental bridges, or even dentures can maintain your smile's integrity and keep the team together for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have any other options before a tooth extraction?

At Northside Dental, we are on a mission to save teeth. So extracting a tooth is likely something we'll perform as a last resort. However, you have options if you seek timely care when a tooth is in bad shape. If you fill a cavity when it's small, your tooth is protected. But the more extensive the cavity, the more of its structure is lost, which threatens your tooth.

In cases of advanced tooth decay, large cavities, tooth fractures, or other tooth-endangering damage, Dr. Simpson can still save your tooth, possibly with root canal therapy and a dental crown that he builds on the same day. In some cases, a crown alone may save your remaining tooth structure while restoring it in look and function.

If You Do Need a Tooth Pulled

A dental extraction is not the end of the world, but it does have repercussions. For example, one or more missing teeth may impact your smile and ability to eat healthy and enjoyable foods. Therefore, our team offers several tooth-replacement options, which we can cover before your extraction. This way, we can devise a treatment plan that meets your needs.

Dr. Simpson and his team of dental professionals in Fort Smith, AR, are ready to answer questions and concerns about dental extractions. Hopefully, we can save and restore your natural tooth before removing it.
