Extractions

Tooth extraction doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process, especially when it’s performed by a dentist that you know and trust. Dr. Elmore is qualified to pull teeth, including wisdom teeth or third molars. In advanced cases, we may refer you to an oral surgeon for specialized care.

Reasons for tooth extraction include:

Wisdom teeth
Overcrowding/Orthodontics
Deciduous (baby) teeth that haven’t fallen out on their own
Dead or unsalvageable teeth
Preparation for dentures or implants

Before the day of your procedure, Dr. Elmore will thoroughly explain what to expect and answer any questions you may have. Your comfort will remain our top priority before, during, and following treatment. You will be given specific instructions on how to care for your extraction site, and we will follow-up with you to ensure the success of the procedure.

If you have any questions about tooth extractions, don’t hesitate to call our office. We’d be happy to explain any of our procedures in greater detail. Our state-of-the-art dental office located in St. Joseph is convenient to residents of Wathena, Elwood, Savannah, Hiawatha, and beyond.
