If you need a tooth removed, our dental team will guide you through the steps to ensure a comfortable, stress-free experience.

Tooth Extraction

Preserving and protecting your natural teeth is our priority whenever possible. Dr. Klavy typically views tooth removal as a last resort—only when it's essential for oral health and well-being.

Expect Care and Understanding

We understand that losing a tooth to extraction can be daunting, so we approach this option with the utmost care and compassion. Dr. Klavy will guide you every step of the way, taking time to discuss her recommendation thoroughly, share x-rays, and explain the process. We aim to ensure you feel fully informed and comfortable with your dental care plan.

With Dr. Klavy’s caring nature, gentle touch, and decades of experience, you can expect a stress-free, pain-free experience. Your comfort and safety are crucial to us, so along with techniques for more comfortable injections, we also offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation to help soothe and calm your nerves.

When Tooth Extraction Is Necessary

Preserving a tooth is not always viable. Some reasons our Friendswood dentist might recommend tooth extraction include:

Severe decay that compromises the entire tooth
Advanced infection that puts surrounding teeth at risk
Overcrowding that affects the alignment of your smile
Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or structural issues
Preparation for further treatments such as dental implants or dentures

Wisdom Teeth Removal: A Personalized Decision

Wisdom teeth, called third molars, typically appear in your late teens or 20s. While they are a natural part of your dental anatomy, they can put your oral health at risk if you don't have sufficient space in the jaw. This can result in crowding and impaction and even threaten surrounding teeth.

Dr. Klavy approaches wisdom teeth on a case-by-case basis. She evaluates their position, health, and potential impact if not removed. If she determines they pose a potential problem, he'll explain why she recommends removing them and ensure you're comfortable with the process.

Tooth Replacement Options

When facing extraction, having a plan to replace the lost tooth can provide much-needed peace of mind. Whenever you're ready, Dr. Klavy and our team will help you explore your tooth replacement options and guide you through the next steps. From long-lasting implants to traditional bridges and dentures, we'll find the solution that fits your smile goals.
