Tooth Extractions

Sometimes a tooth is too badly damaged to be repaired, and it cannot be allowed to remain in the mouth. When this occurs, Dr. Courtney Murray will gently extract the tooth to prevent further damage and begin the process of restoring your smile. We will work with you to help you heal properly and choose an appropriate replacement for your tooth. Call Summit Dental at 256-251-2899 to learn more about tooth extractions in Huntsville, Alabama, and to schedule your appointment with our dentist.

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. While we strive to avoid the need to remove a tooth whenever possible, certain conditions may make tooth extraction the most effective option for returning your smile to good health and function. Following the tooth extraction, we are happy to provide you with one of our excellent tooth replacement treatments, if needed, to restore your smile to optimal health, beauty, and function.

Several conditions may necessitate tooth extraction. Among these are:

• Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure
• Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making a successful restoration impossible
• Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth

Our dentist uses great care and skill when performing a tooth extraction to ensure that your dental experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. We will also provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions so you can properly take care of your smile as it heals.

We are committed to improving your smile!
