Tooth Extraction
Tooth Extraction in Rock Hill, SC
Safe, Gentle Tooth Removal When Necessary
Piedmont Dental provides professional tooth extraction services in Rock Hill, SC, when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to save. While our dentist in Rock Hill always tries to preserve natural teeth, sometimes extraction is the best option to protect your overall oral health and prevent further complications.
When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Severe Tooth Decay that has destroyed too much tooth structure to support a filling or dental crown.
Advanced Gum Disease causing loose teeth that cannot be stabilized.
Dental Infections that don’t respond to root canal therapy or antibiotics.
Broken or Fractured Teeth damaged beyond repair from injury or trauma.
Overcrowding requiring removal to make space for orthodontic treatment.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth causing pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth.
Preparation for Dentures or other tooth replacement options.
The Tooth Extraction Procedure
Before extraction, Dr. Areheart examines your tooth and takes X-rays to understand its position and root structure. He’ll discuss the procedure, answer your questions, and explain what to expect during recovery.
For the extraction, we numb the area completely with local anesthesia so you feel pressure but no pain. For anxious patients or complex extractions, we offer sedation dentistry options including nitrous oxide or oral sedation to help you relax.
Once you’re comfortable, Dr. Areheart carefully removes the tooth, cleans the socket, and may place stitches if needed. The entire procedure typically takes 20-40 minutes depending on complexity.

Am I a Candidate for Invisible Braces?
Invisible braces work well for most teens and adults seeking orthodontic correction. You may be an ideal candidate if you have mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues and desire a discreet treatment option that fits your lifestyle.
Clear aligners are particularly popular among adult professionals, college students at Winthrop University, and image-conscious teens who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance of traditional metal braces. If you’re committed to wearing your aligners as directed and maintaining good oral hygiene, invisible braces can deliver excellent results.
The best way to determine if invisible braces are right for you is to schedule a consultation at Piedmont Dental. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most effective treatment option for achieving your smile goals.
