Tooth Extractions

At Black Diamond Dental in Pagosa Springs, CO, Dr. Justin Nylund and our team are dedicated to helping you keep your natural teeth for life. However, there are times when removing a tooth may be the healthiest choice for protecting your smile and overall oral health. If you are concerned about the condition of a tooth, we encourage you to schedule a visit so we can determine the best treatment option for you.

While we make every effort to preserve natural teeth, a tooth extraction may be recommended in situations such as:

• Severe decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a filling, crown, or other restorative treatment

• Advanced infection that has destroyed significant portions of the tooth or surrounding bone structure

• Crowding, when there isn’t enough room in the mouth for all teeth to fit properly

If an extraction is necessary, Dr. Nylund will perform the procedure with the utmost care, prioritizing your comfort throughout the process. Our team provides detailed post-treatment instructions to support proper healing and minimize discomfort.

After your recovery, we will discuss replacement options to restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Depending on your needs, solutions may include bridges, dental implants, or dentures. Replacing missing teeth is an important step in maintaining proper dental alignment, bite strength, and confidence in your smile.
