Teeth need to be extracted for a variety of reasons from a toothache to fracture, or simply not enough space. Dr. Sheth will make sure you’re extremely numb before he removes the tooth.

Wisdom teeth (3rd molars) need to evaluated for cleanliness, cavities and space in the arch. Usually, wisdom teeth need to be removed as their eruption impacts the teeth and tissues in front of them. Typically, wisdom teeth are extracted before the Age of 25 as risk of complications increases over time.

Root canals are necessary when nerve of the tooth is injured by a deep cavity or trauma to the tooth. This procedure involves getting the tooth numb and removing the nerve of the tooth and any diseased tooth structure. The tooth is then filled and a crown is placed to protect the tooth from fracturing.

Crowns or caps are used to cover the part of the tooth above the gum. They can be made of a variety of materials such as porcelain, gold or a combination. Crowns are typically used to protect teeth from fracture, protect root canal treated teeth, or improve the appearance of the tooth.

If a crown/cap has come loose or you feel as though it is coming loose. Bring in all the pieces you have as we may be able to re-cement or fix it. Typically, crowns come loose as the tooth underneath becomes weakened or decayed.

If you feel like you have either swallowed or inhaled the crown, please seek medical attention as inhaled objects can potentially be life threatening.
