Expert Tooth Extractions When Smile Preservation Fails
Tooth Extractions Cherry Hill
It’s an unfortunate reality that in some cases, the damage caused to a tooth can be too great to repair. While our team and Dr. Lee are committed to preserving your natural teeth at all costs, there are times when that means extracting a severely compromised tooth to preserve the health of the ones that surround it. If we recommend a tooth extraction in Cherry Hill, we will be happy to help you plan restorative treatment alongside it to ensure you don’t have to go any longer than necessary with one or more gaps in your smile.

Safe, Comfortable Tooth Extractions in Cherry Hill
Although preserving natural teeth is always an important goal, some dental conditions may make extraction necessary. At Kingston Family Cosmetic Dental Center in Cherry Hill, Dr. Kessy Lee carefully evaluates each tooth before recommending an extraction. We consider the condition of the tooth, surrounding gums and bone, your bite, and your overall oral health to determine whether the tooth can be restored or whether removal is the more appropriate option.
If an extraction is necessary, our Cherry Hill dental team focuses on making the procedure as comfortable and straightforward as possible. We provide dental anesthesia and offer sedation dentistry for appropriate patients who experience dental anxiety or require additional comfort during treatment. Dr. Lee will explain the procedure, answer your questions, and provide aftercare instructions to help support your recovery.
When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
We don’t recommend tooth extractions lightly. However, here are some cases in which we may turn to this treatment:
Gum disease has caused the hard and soft supportive tissues surrounding a tooth to drastically deteriorate, causing it to become loose.
A tooth is damaged or decayed beyond being able to be repaired with a filling or crown.
In order for orthodontic treatment to be successful, a tooth must be removed to make enough room in the mouth for the others to become aligned.
There’s not enough room for your wisdom teeth in your mouth, leading to a high risk of misalignment and other oral concerns in
the future.
