Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is severely damaged to the point where the structure of the tooth cannot be reasonably salvaged, our dentist, Dr. Tyson Gundersen, may suggest a tooth extraction. This will allow us to prevent the spread of infection from the injured or decayed tooth to other parts of the mouth and body and place a more stable restoration through a dental bridge, implant or dentures. If you think you might need a tooth extraction in Butte, Montana, please call Silver Creek Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry at (406) 494 - 7058 for more information.

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. While we strive to avoid the need to remove a tooth whenever possible, certain conditions may make tooth extraction the most effective option for returning your smile to good health and function. Following the tooth extraction, we are happy to provide you with one of our excellent tooth replacement treatments to restore your smile to optimal health, beauty and function.

Conditions For Tooth Extractions

Several conditions may necessitate tooth extraction. Among these are:

  • Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure
  • Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making a successful restoration impossible
  • Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth


Our dentist and team use great care and skill when performing a tooth extraction to ensure that your experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. We will also provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions so that you can properly take care of your smile as it heals.
