Tooth Extraction Q&A

What is tooth extraction?

Tooth extraction, often referred to as tooth removal, is a dental procedure where one or more permanent teeth are removed from the mouth. At Maple Dental NJ, extractions are typically recommended for patients with severe decay, gum disease, trauma, or wisdom tooth complications. Whether you’re experiencing pain or preparing for orthodontic treatment, our team will assess your situation and determine if extraction is the right solution.

Why would you need a tooth extraction?

A tooth extraction might be necessary for a number of reasons, including:

Severe tooth decay
Advanced gum disease (periodontitis)
Wisdom tooth impaction
Tooth overcrowding
Dental trauma or injury

Teeth can be damaged beyond repair due to accidents, falls, or sports injuries. If a tooth becomes infected or fractured beyond what a filling or crown can fix, an extraction might be the best way to protect your overall oral health. If you're looking for a dentist near you in Belleville, Maplewood, or surrounding communities to assess a damaged tooth, Maple Dental NJ is here to help.

What is the difference between oral surgery and tooth extraction?

Tooth extraction can be simple or surgical.

A simple extraction is used when the tooth is fully visible and easily accessible.
A surgical extraction may involve a small incision or removal of bone to fully access the tooth—often used for impacted or broken teeth.

Not every case requires extraction. At Maple Dental NJ, we prioritize conservative care, and only recommend removal when it's truly the best option.

What are some common types of oral surgery besides tooth extraction?

At Maple Dental NJ, we offer more than just extractions. Our oral surgery services also include:

Dental Implants: For replacing missing teeth with natural-looking, long-lasting restorations.
Gum Grafts: If gum recession from periodontal disease has occurred, a gum graft can restore your gumline and protect your teeth.

Whether you're in Nutley, Kearny, Newark (07104 & 07106), South Orange, Irvington, or Vauxhall, and need oral surgery or are simply looking for a trustworthy dentist near you, Maple Dental NJ provides personalized care in a calm, caring environment.
