Tooth Extractions in Denver, CO
Gentle, Comfortable Tooth Removal at Rock Ridge Dental Center
At Rock Ridge Dental Center, our top priority is to preserve natural teeth whenever possible. However, when a tooth is too damaged, infected, or impacted, a gentle tooth extraction can restore comfort and protect your long-term oral health.
Our Denver practice provides comfortable, stress-free extractions with a patient-first approach, modern technology, and clear aftercare instructions.
⭐ Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction
We may recommend an extraction if you have:
Severe decay beyond saving
Cracked or fractured tooth below the gumline
Infection that can’t be resolved with a root canal
Crowding before orthodontics
Broken tooth from trauma
Gum disease causing loose teeth
Problematic wisdom teeth (impacted, painful, or infected)
We evaluate every case carefully to determine whether saving or removing the tooth offers the healthiest long-term solution.
