Minor Extractions

Unlike a surgical tooth extraction which involves the removal of bone, gum tissue, or both, minor tooth extraction involves a tooth that can be seen above the gums being removed by a dental health professional in either one piece or in multiple pieces. The extent of the dental extraction may vary depending on the shape, size, position, and location of the tooth. Reasons for extractions include:

Infections
Cavities
Gum disease
In preparation for a dental prosthesis
Injury or trauma to the teeth or the surrounding bone
Baby teeth falling at the wrong age
Complications involving the wisdom teeth
To prepare for braces or Invisalign if the teeth are too crowded

Wisdom Teeth Removal (Non-Bony Extractions)

Wisdom teeth extraction is a form of oral surgery involving the removal of the tough, wide molars in the back of your mouth. Since wisdom teeth are the last to erupt from the gums and often the first teeth to require surgical extraction, they are often impacted meaning they have not fully emerged from a patient’s gums. Though some people don’t have all their wisdom teeth, you’re more likely to have issues with them than any other teeth. Wisdom teeth extractions are extremely common, and roughly 10 million wisdom teeth are extracted in the U.S. each year.
