EXTRACTIONS IN SCHERTZ

Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction permanently removes a tooth from its socket. It may be recommended to remove impacted teeth, resolve infection or advanced decay, treat overcrowding, or address teeth compromised by gum disease.

At Eck Dental Partners, saving teeth is always our first goal. When removal is the healthiest option, Dr. Nathan Eck uses modern imaging, gentle technique, and appropriate anesthesia to make treatment as comfortable and efficient as possible.

The team at Strahler Dental Partners specializes in dental extractions in Schertz. While saving your teeth is our top priority, sometimes removal may be what is best for your dental health. We use state-of-the-art equipment to make the tooth extraction process as comfortable and painless as possible.

Basic Tooth Extraction

For teeth visible above the gumline. The tooth is carefully loosened and lifted from the socket; sutures may be placed to support smooth healing.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Removal of one or more third molars when they cause pain, infection, or crowding. Evaluation includes imaging to protect nearby teeth and nerves.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

For teeth trapped in bone or gum, a small opening allows the tooth to be sectioned and removed with minimal trauma--reducing pain, infection risk, and future complications.
