Top Reasons for Tooth Extraction in NYC

Tooth extraction is recommended only when it is the best option for your dental health. Common reasons include:

  • Severe decay or infection that has destroyed too much of the tooth

  • Advanced gum disease causing tooth mobility and oral complications

  • Impacted wisdom teeth (third molars) that have not erupted properly

  • Preparation for orthodontics or dental implants

  • Traumatic injuries to the teeth or jaw

  • Damaged teeth that cannot be restored due to severe decay, trauma, or structural compromise.

  • Overcrowding or bite alignment issues

Symptoms such as persistent bleeding may also indicate the need for emergency tooth extraction to prevent further complications.

If untreated, these issues can damage the bone, gum tissue, or surrounding oral cavity, leading to more serious oral health problems.


Wisdom Teeth Removal in NYC, Manhattan

Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures performed in our office. Our team specializes in both wisdom teeth extraction and wisdom tooth removal to address a variety of dental concerns. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often become impacted, erupt at an angle, or remain trapped beneath the gum line. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, tooth decay, and crowding of nearby teeth.

Our team performs both simple extractions (for fully erupted wisdom teeth) and complex extractions (for impacted teeth) depending on the case. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons or a highly trained general dentist may be involved if advanced surgical techniques are required.

Tooth Extraction NYC: Frequently Asked Questions

What Other Options Do I Have Instead of Tooth Extractions?

Patients may lose a tooth if they don’t take proper care of their teeth while there are still options. That’s the role that Dr. Lazare plays in dental care. As an accomplished biomimetic dentist, Dr. Lazare focuses on preserving the tooth’s natural healing properties, and he avoids extraction and root canal whenever possible. If a tooth extraction is needed, Dr. Lazare is a cosmetic dental expert who specializes in smile makeovers, bridges, and implants to preserve your smile.

Do I Need to Have My Wisdom Teeth Extracted?

Wisdom teeth should not be extracted unless they are causing issues or pain. Dr. Lazare will examine your wisdom teeth to determine if they are impacted or causing problems with your nearby teeth. You should probably maintain and clean your wisdom teeth so they can remain healthy and viable.

Can Dental Sealants Prevent Tooth Loss?

Sealants take a few minutes to complete. The treatment can be applied to spotless teeth without decay. If there are any signs of decay in the teeth’ groves, it is removed before the sealant is applied. Any adult can benefit from sealants because it makes cleaning food and plaque easier and provides an extra defense line against tooth decay. A sealant is a tool used to prevent tooth decay.

Can Biomimetic dentistry save my tooth?

Biomimetic dentistry utilizes conservative approaches that restore the tooth’s natural function and strength. In many instances, root canals and tooth extraction can be avoided with the use of biomimetic dentistry. Biomimetic dentistry only removes the damaged tooth and decay. Though, if the decay is too extensive, the tooth must be extracted.

How Long Should I Wait to Get a Dental Implant?

You probably want to have your tooth replaced as soon as possible for aesthetic reasons, but you will typically need to wait a minimum of 10 weeks before getting an implant. Exceptions depend on your oral health. Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime and have over 95% success rate. Jaw bone typically shrinks when there is a missing tooth, but an implant mimics the natural root and stimulates the jaw bone for optimum health. Dental implants provide a foundation for a natural-looking crown.

How Many People Are Born With Extra Teeth?

Extra teeth (referred to as supernumerary teeth), occur approximately 2% of the time in the adult set of teeth, and less than 1% in the child’s first set of teeth. Most of these extra teeth (about 90%) will occur in the upper arch of teeth (maxilla). Supernumerary teeth may also be referred to as polydontia or hyperdontia, with the most common type being the mesiodens (an extra tooth that tends to form between and just inside of the upper two front teeth. Most of the time, these extra teeth don’t even come through the gums, and they are discovered when taking an x-ray in that area. Other types of supernumerary teeth include the rare fourth molar (also referred to as paramolar or distomolar). Multiple supernumerary teeth are very rare in people that don’t have any syndrome or disease associated with it. It is more common to be missing certain teeth, than to develop extra teeth.
