No one likes the idea of having a tooth removed. However, sometimes your tooth needs to be extracted to avoid infecting other healthy teeth and gums.

Throughout his years of dental practice, he has helped many patients return to good oral health through tooth removal in Athens. This type of oral surgery will:
Call us today at 256-229-3416 if you think you need one or more teeth removed. Our team will make sure your procedure goes as smoothly as possible. You’ll find us at 15059 E. Limestone Road, just down from the Chevron station in Harvest.
A tooth extraction is one of the most basic oral surgeries that dentists perform. Although Dr. Fitts would rather try to save a damaged tooth through root canal treatment or by making a same-day crown to cap the tooth, he will remove the tooth if necessary. If left alone, a diseased tooth can damage surrounding healthy teeth and gums, creating bigger problems that could require more extensive dental work. We can also remove wisdom teeth so long as they’re not impacted.
Rest assured, if you need your tooth removed, Dr. Fitts will do it quickly, yet gently. Here’s why you will stay calm and comfortable throughout your procedure:

It is difficult to put a price on this service since each patient is different with unique needs. Factors that come into play include the location of the tooth, its condition, and how many teeth need to be removed. We’ll be happy to examine your mouth when you come in for your initial consultation and X-rays. Then we can give you a good idea of the cost for your procedure.
For most types of extractions, you can expect the site to heal within seven to 10 days. You actually play a role in how quickly you heal, however. We’ll give you complete aftercare instructions for you to follow. The closer you stick to these guidelines, the quicker and more comfortable your healing period will be.
The team at East Limestone Family Dental will do what we can to save your natural tooth whenever possible. However, removal may become necessary if your tooth is badly diseased or damaged. Left alone, an infected tooth can damage your other teeth and gums, creating more problems and costing you more money in the long run.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
