General Dentistry

A dental extraction is always the last resort of dental treatment. It’s our goal to make sure that our patients keep their original teeth throughout the course of their lifetime, never having to lose a tooth. This isn’t always possible. Our Brentwood dentist is experienced at performing dental extractions, but he’s also able to save many seemingly destroyed teeth back to health by way of root canal procedures.

A root canal can be a one or two part procedure that saves a tooth from extraction. During a root canal, the infected pulp inside the tooth is carefully cleaned out, the nerve is deadened to end all sensations of pain, and remaining bacteria are removed from the tooth so that no further infection remains. The tooth is expertly sealed so that no further bacteria can reach the inner canal of the tooth. The result is that a once painful and hopeless tooth is nursed back to health by the root canal procedure and a patient doesn’t have to lose the tooth. The root canal is one of the most important and appreciated of all dental procedures and it allows our dentist in Brentwood to save the life of many of our patient’s teeth.

Visiting our general dentist in Brentwood on a regular basis should be an important part of your health care as dental and oral health has direct impact on your overall health.

Brentwood General Dentist

When dental procedures such as a root canal don’t work, an extraction is necessary. A clean, comfortable extraction ends the pain of a tooth that can’t be saved and allows our Brentwood general dentist to restore the tooth with dentures, implants, or bridge work. Missing teeth are able to be replaced by remarkably realistic new dental devices that look and function just like real teeth, in some cases better than real teeth.

If you suffer from seriously damaged teeth and feel that an extraction might be necessary, visit our general dentist in Brentwood to find out if a root canal might be able to save your tooth. Even if a root canal isn’t an option for you, it’s possible that implants, dentures, or a bridge might restore your teeth back to health and have you living pain-free right away. We’re ready to help you restore your dental health and look forward to scheduling an appointment for you.

If you are suffering from any dental problems, our Brentwood general dentist is the first person you need to see to evaluate your condition and advice the proper treatment.
