In certain cases, it may be necessary for patients to have one or more teeth extracted. For young patients, it may be that a baby tooth is not falling out and will need to be removed so the permanent tooth can come in behind it. For adults, there are many other reasons that a tooth might need to be extracted:

• Decay
• Orthodontic correction
• Infection
• Problems with a wisdom tooth

If you need to have a tooth extracted, you can trust Dr. Corbitt of Fort Worth to give you the quality care you deserve. She will also spend time beforehand making sure you understand exactly how your procedure will go. We don’t want you to have any unanswered questions on the day of your appointment. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask during your consultation. Dr. Corbitt will listen to your concerns and put them to rest by explaining exactly how your tooth extraction procedure will go.

Most tooth extractions take one visit to complete. For adults, we recommend having your tooth (or teeth) replaced with a restoration, like a bridge, partial denture, or full denture. What’s more, any one of these excellent options can be supported by a dental implant. Because they act like natural roots, dental implants are extremely effective and give patients the chance to have natural functionality again.
