Gentle, supportive care when you need a tooth removed.
At Solt Family Dental in Wyoming, Michigan, we always aim to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. But in some cases, removing a tooth is the healthiest option for your overall oral health. If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, infection, or crowding, Dr. Kevin Solt provides compassionate and skilled tooth extractions to help you feel better and get back to smiling confidently.
There are several situations where extracting a tooth may be necessary: Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored, Advanced periodontal (gum) disease, Cracked or fractured teeth below the gum line, Orthodontic needs (crowding or spacing), Persistent infection or abscess, Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth (see below)
At Solt Family Dental, we prioritize your comfort from start to finish:
Comfortable anesthesia – We gently numb the area to ensure a pain-free experience.
Simple or surgical extraction – Depending on the position of the tooth, Dr. Solt may use specialized tools or a surgical approach.
Aftercare guidance – You’ll receive clear instructions for healing, including tips for managing discomfort, avoiding dry socket, and speeding up recovery.
Most patients are surprised by how quick and easy the process is with our experienced team by your side.
Prevent crowding, pain, and infection with proactive care.
Wisdom teeth—your third molars—typically erupt between ages 17 and 25. Unfortunately, most people don’t have enough room for them to grow in properly, which can lead to a host of problems like:
Impacted (trapped) teeth
Gum infections or swelling
Damage to neighboring teeth
Jaw pain or misalignment
Not every patient needs their wisdom teeth removed, but many benefit from proactive removal before they cause complications. Dr. Solt will use digital imaging to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and help you make the right decision based on your unique case.
Whether your wisdom teeth are partially erupted or fully impacted, we offer comfortable wisdom tooth extraction in a relaxed setting. For complex cases, we work with trusted local specialists to ensure you receive the highest level of care.
We’ll provide detailed instructions for a smooth recovery, including:
Soft food recommendations
How to manage swelling or discomfort
When to resume normal brushing and flossing
Warning signs to watch for during healing
Most patients are back to normal within a few days and relieved to have prevented more serious issues.
