Same Day Appointments for Dental Emergencies

At Flint River Dental, in Huntsville, AL we understand that having a tooth extracted is intimidating for many patients. We exhaust all conservative treatment options before resorting to extraction. Despite our best efforts, there are situations that require removing a tooth. When this happens, we offer extractions in Huntsville to preserve your oral health.

Reasons for Tooth Extractions

Teeth may need to be extracted for a number of reasons, such as excessive decay or damage to the tooth that cannot be repaired with other treatment methods. When a tooth needs to be removed, Dr. Darby is skilled at performing comfortable extractions in Huntsville. Sedation options are available to help keep you comfortable and relaxed during treatment.

Some common reasons for tooth extraction include:

• Severe damage
• Extensive decay
• Gum disease
• A tooth that’s fractured below the gum line
• An impacted wisdom tooth
• Orthodontic treatment
• Preparing the mouth for dentures

When we recommend an extraction, you can be sure that we have considered all possible options for saving the tooth. Regardless of the reason that a tooth needs to be removed, you can rest assured that you are receiving the highest quality, patient centered care from a well-trained and experienced team of dental professionals.

Keeping Patients Comfortable During Extractions

She has completed hundreds of hours of continuing education to the study of advanced sedation techniques.
