Understanding the Tooth Extraction Process in Beverly Hills
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction becomes necessary when the structural integrity or health of a tooth is beyond repair. This can be due to severe decay, advanced gum disease causing loosening of teeth, impacted wisdom teeth that cause pain and misalignment, or trauma that severely damages a tooth. It’s also a sometimes necessary step in orthodontic treatment to alleviate overcrowding or in preparation for placing dentures or implants. Your dentist will carefully evaluate your situation, considering your overall health, possible allergies and existing medical conditions, before recommending an extraction for the long-term benefit of your oral health.
Reason for Extraction | Prevalence | Description |
Severe Tooth Decay | 30% | The most common reason due to irreversible damage or infection. |
Advanced Gum Disease | 25% | When periodontal disease compromises the supporting structures of teeth. |
Impacted Wisdom Teeth | 20% | Commonly extracted due to pain, crowding, or improper eruption. |
Tooth Fractures Beyond Repair | 10% | Severe fractures below the gum line that cannot be restored. |
Overcrowding | 8% | Necessary for orthodontic treatment or to alleviate dental crowding. |
Infection Risk | 5% | Extraction may prevent infections from spreading in high-risk cases. |
Orthodontic Treatment Needs | 2% | Removal of teeth to create space for proper alignment. |
Success Rates of Alternative Treatments
Many of these situations have alternative treatments with varying success rates:
- Root Canal Treatment (for severe tooth decay):
- Success rates range from 85% to 97% after 10 years, depending on the tooth’s location and condition.
- Periodontal Treatment (for advanced gum disease):
- Non-surgical treatments (scaling and root planing) can stabilize gum disease in about 50%-80% of cases, but advanced cases may require surgery.
- Orthodontic Treatment (for overcrowding):
- Success rates for achieving desired tooth alignment are generally high (over 90%), though long-term stability requires diligent retainer use.
