Tooth Extractions Washington, DC
Comfortable Tooth Extractions to Assist Your Smile
When a tooth is compromised in such a way that it is not salvageable, the tooth needs to be removed before it causes additional problems, such as infection. Fortunately, modern dentistry has made this very easy, and teeth can now be extracted in a comfortable and efficient manner. In some cases, like following an atraumatic extraction, bone grafting is usually performed in the area to preserve the bone architecture and help with future implant placement. Dr. Kham and our team take every measure to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. Call our office today if you believe that you may need to have a tooth extracted in Washington, DC.

When are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
Dr. Kham will always prioritize saving your natural teeth when possible, but in some cases, we may recommend extraction in order to protect your smile’s future health. Some of these situations include:
- Severe tooth decay or damage has compromised the tooth, and it cannot be restored
- Advanced gum disease has compromised the stability of the tooth
- A tooth has become impacted, meaning it failed to erupt properly (often happens to wisdom teeth)
- Teeth need to be removed to make space before orthodontic treatment
