Extractions

Tooth extractions involve the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is damaged beyond repair, decayed, or causing crowding or other dental issues. One of the most common dental procedures, a tooth extraction can eliminate bacteria and improve your overall oral health.

Why It's Done

• Severe Decay or Damage: When a tooth is too damaged to be restored with fillings or crowns.
• Crowding: To make room for other teeth to properly align, often in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
• Infection: If a tooth is infected and cannot be treated with root canal therapy.
• Impacted Teeth: Removal of wisdom teeth or other impacted teeth that are causing pain or complications.
