Secrets to Keeping Your Smile Cavity-Free

At our dental office, we strive to preserve as many natural teeth as possible. However, there are situations when tooth extraction becomes necessary for the sake of your oral health and overall well-being. With advances in dental care, extractions can now be performed with greater precision and comfort than ever before. Plus, modern tooth replacement options look, feel, and function more like natural teeth than ever before.

When Extraction Becomes Necessary

Tooth extraction may be required when a tooth is severely compromised by injury, decay, or bone loss. In such cases, the tooth becomes non-restorable and needs to be removed to prevent further damage to surrounding teeth and tissues. Extraction may also be necessary for problematic wisdom teeth that are impacted or poorly positioned, as these can lead to complications like infection, cysts, oral pain, and issues with adjacent teeth. In some cases, we might recommend extracting a primary tooth if it's ankylosed, fused to the underlying bone, or over-retained and reluctant to fall out naturally. Extractions are also common in orthodontic treatment plans when there is significant dental crowding that needs to be addressed.
