When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Preserving your natural teeth is always our priority. However, in certain cases, removing a tooth is the most effective way to protect your overall oral health. You may require a tooth extraction* if:
- A tooth is extensively decayed or fractured beyond repair
- Wisdom teeth are impacted, infected, or causing discomfort
- Overcrowding is preventing proper orthodontic alignment
- Periodontal (gum) disease has compromised the tooth’s support
- A baby tooth is blocking the eruption of a permanent tooth
- In preparation for a cosmetic case
Our team will carefully evaluate your situation and explain all your treatment options before proceeding.
