Gentle Care When a Tooth Needs to Be Removed

While our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, there are times when a tooth extraction is the best option for protecting your overall oral health. Our team provides safe, gentle extractions with a focus on your comfort every step of the way.

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure may be necessary when a tooth is too damaged or infected to be saved with treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canals.

When Is an Extraction Needed?

You may need a tooth extraction if you have:

• Severe tooth decay or damage
• Advanced gum disease (periodontal disease)
• A broken tooth that cannot be restored
• Impacted teeth (such as wisdom teeth)
• Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
• Infection that threatens surrounding teeth

Our dentist will always explore all possible options before recommending extraction.
