Tooth Extractions & Bone Grafts in Tampa

Join Us For Tampa's Premier Extraction and Wisdom Teeth Removals

There are typically three reasons why a tooth needs to be extracted. The first is if the gums and bone have deteriorated to the point where there is nothing left to structurally support the tooth (periodontitis). Another example is advanced dental caries (decay), which leaves little tooth structure to rebuild or repair. The final situation is when there is a severe dental infection, such as an abscess, and the individual prefers to have the tooth extracted rather than undergo root canal treatment.


To save your natural tooth, we usually recommend a therapeutic restoration such as a root canal, crown, or gum disease treatment. However, if a tooth cannot be restored, the only option is to extract it before it compromises adjacent teeth.

Therapeutic Tooth Extraction

Are you considering full mouth reconstruction with dental implants or getting fitted for full dentures because of missing teeth? If you have any non-restorable teeth left, they will need to be extracted. You'll be able to continue with your oral rehabilitation plan after removing them and allowing your mouth to heal. If your missing tooth is visible when you smile, we may be able to fit you with a temporary appliance to wear in the meantime.

Recovery from Tooth Extraction

Some people recover quickly after having a tooth extracted, while others take longer. Much of it is determined by the type of extraction required. If it's a simple tooth extraction, you will probably be back to normal in a day or two. Some procedures like wisdom tooth removal tend to require a little more recovery time. Signs you may need a tooth extracted.

Why Replace Extracted Teeth?

When a tooth is removed, it creates an empty space in your smile. The extra spacing can cause your surrounding teeth to shift out of place over time. We recommend replacing your tooth as soon as possible to avoid changes in tooth alignment. The Dental Boutique provides a variety of tooth replacement options to fit your needs and goals.
