Tooth Extractions
Gentle Tooth Removal
While preserving natural teeth is always our goal, there are times when removing a tooth is the healthiest option. At McDonald Dentistry, we perform routine tooth extractions and wisdom tooth removals using advanced technology and a patient-first approach. Whether you need a straightforward extraction or a more complex surgical procedure, our team is equipped to deliver safe, comfortable care.
Our experienced team will explain your treatment options, answer your questions, and make the process as comfortable as possible from start to finish.
When an Extraction May Be Recommended
Severe Decay
A tooth that cannot be restored with a filling, crown, or root canal.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth become trapped beneath the gums or grow at improper angles.
Infection or Damage
Extensive damage or infection that threatens surrounding teeth and tissue.
Orthodontic Treatment
In some cases, removing a tooth can help create space for proper alignment.
Comfortable, Personalized Treatment
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to develop and often don’t have enough room to erupt properly. When this happens, they can become impacted, cause discomfort, increase the risk of infection, or place pressure on neighboring teeth.
Our doctors have extensive experience removing wisdom teeth, and most procedures can be completed right here in our Grand Forks office. Advanced 3D CT imaging may be used to help plan treatment and ensure the safest possible care for every patient.
Prevent Future Problems
Address impacted teeth before they cause pain, infection, or damage.
Protect Nearby Teeth
Reduce pressure and crowding caused by erupting wisdom teeth.
