Tooth Extractions

Our goal at University Park Family Dentistry is to preserve your smile as much as possible. However, if your teeth have become too damaged by dental decay to be restored by a traditional dental restoration, such as a dental filling or dental crown, our dentist may recommend a tooth extraction in South Bend, Indiana. Dr. Jeffrey Turner will discuss replacement options with you before the procedure so that we can keep your smile as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Call our office at 574-272-4441 to learn more and schedule a consultation.

Much like the name suggests, tooth extractions are the removal of teeth. Our skilled dentist will only suggest removal if your teeth cannot be repaired with traditional dental restorations, such as dental fillings, dental inlays or onlays, or dental crowns.

The most common reasons for tooth extractions are:

  • Infection
  • Tooth decay
  • Crowding

If it is determined that a tooth must be removed, our dentist will carefully extract the problem tooth and take every precaution to help your experience be as comfortable as possible. During a personalized consultation before the procedure is scheduled, we will also discuss replacement options with you, which will help you choose the correct treatment to restore the function, health and beauty of your smile. After your tooth is extracted, our dentist and team will provide you with a list of instructions on how to keep your mouth healthy as you heal.

If you have any questions, we invite you to contact our dental office today and schedule an appointment with our dentist. We are committed to providing you with the best possible experience, and we work hard to ensure you get the care you need. Learn more about tooth extractions from our skilled team today!
