A severely damaged tooth may need to be extracted. Permanent teeth may also need to be removed for orthodontic treatment. Dentures
Dentures are prosthetic devices replacing lost teeth. There are two types of dentures – partial and full. Full dentures are often referred to as “false teeth”.
Tooth Extraction, which is also known as Dental Extraction, is the removal of teeth from their socket in the alveolar bone. Firstly, teeth are extracted when they are impacted. This refers to a state where the normal growth of tooth inside the mouth is hindered by bones, gums, or other teeth. Some other common reasons include tooth decay and periodontal disease. Generally, they are accompanied by an intense toothache and the patient has no other option but to get them pulled out. If the tooth to be removed is easily accessible, local anesthesia is used by the Ottawa dentist otherwise an oral surgeon is recommended.
