Alexandria, VA Tooth Extraction Services

Dentist Providing Full Mouth Extraction, Wisdom Tooth Extraction, and Other Extractions in Alexandria, Virginia

While the goal of dentistry is always to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, there are some situations where tooth extraction is the best option for protecting a patient's oral health. At Alexandria Dental Art, we provide safe and effective tooth extraction services, ranging from simple extractions to more complex oral surgery procedures.

Our dental team focuses on patient comfort, using modern techniques and anesthesia to minimize pain while making sure our patients can achieve the best possible outcome that will protect their long-term oral health. Following extractions, we also provide restorative solutions such as dental implants and bridges to help patients maintain healthy, functional, and confident smiles.

Reasons Tooth Extractions May Be Needed

Extractions may be recommended in a variety of situations, including:

• Severe Decay: When tooth decay extends deep into the structure of a tooth and cannot be repaired with fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy, it may be necessary to extract the tooth.
• Extensive Damage: Teeth may become fractured or otherwise damaged beyond repair due to trauma.
• Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth or other teeth may fail to emerge properly, or they may be positioned in a way that presses on other teeth. These issues can cause pain, infections, or misalignment, and the best solution may be to extract the impacted tooth or teeth.
• Overcrowding: Teeth may need to be removed to create space for orthodontic treatment or because a person has a small jaw that does not provide enough room for all of their teeth.
• Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease can loosen teeth, making extraction the best option to preserve oral health.

By removing problematic teeth, patients avoid further complications and create a healthier foundation for future restorative care.

Types of Tooth Extractions

At Alexandria Dental Art, we perform a variety of extraction procedures, including:

Single or Multiple Tooth Extraction

This is the most common type of extraction, and it involves removing one or several teeth that are decayed, damaged, or otherwise compromised. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that patients can remain comfortable.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth often emerge incorrectly, becoming impacted or pushing against neighboring teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, swelling, and infections. We provide both simple and surgical wisdom tooth extractions to relieve discomfort and prevent further oral health problems.

Full Mouth Extraction

In some cases, patients may need to have all teeth removed due to severe decay, gum disease, or other conditions. Full mouth extraction is typically followed by restorative treatments such as dentures or All-on-4 dental implants, which can provide a stable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.

Post-Extraction Restoration Options

Removing a tooth is often the first step toward restoring a healthy smile. At Alexandria Dental Art, we provide a range of restorative solutions and cosmetic dentistry options to replace missing teeth and maintain both function and appearance. These services include:

• Dental Implants: Metal posts placed in the jawbone can serve as permanent replacements for missing teeth. Implants support replacement teeth that mimic the look and feel of surrounding teeth while helping to preserve jawbone health.
• Dental Bridges: These prosthetics can be used to fill the gap left by an extraction, and they will be anchored by crowns placed on adjacent teeth. Bridges can restore appearance and function while preventing neighboring teeth from shifting.

Our team will discuss each option during your consultation and create a treatment plan that aligns with your health and your overall goals for achieving a beautiful, lasting smile.
