Impacted Tooth Removal in Westlake, TX
Relief from a tooth that's stuck below the surface, before it causes pain, infection, or damage to the teeth around it.
What Is an Impacted Tooth?
An impacted tooth is one that is stuck and cannot erupt into its proper position. It may be fully buried in the bone or only partly through the gum. Because it cannot break through normally, it often causes pain, especially during chewing and cleaning.
While wisdom teeth are the most common impacted teeth, they are not the only ones. Canine teeth can also become impacted, often in teenagers, where the tooth needs to be surgically uncovered and guided into place. Removing or treating an impacted tooth relieves pain and protects the neighboring teeth from infection and damage.
Why Treat an Impacted Tooth
A stuck tooth presses on bone and neighboring teeth, causing pain and pressure. Removing it brings lasting relief.
Partially erupted impacted teeth trap bacteria and are hard to clean, raising the risk of infection. Treatment removes that risk.
An impacted tooth can push against and damage the roots of healthy neighbors. Addressing it early protects the rest of your smile.
