Extractions

The main goal of dentistry is to preserve your natural teeth and keep them healthy for as long as possible. However, there are times when it is in a patient’s best interest to have a tooth extracted (removed).

When would this be the case?

• Severely damaged tooth
• Impacted tooth
• Making room for orthodontics (braces) when teeth are crowded
• Stubborn baby tooth
• Gum/bone loss that is unable to support the tooth

Whatever the reason, tooth extraction is, more often than not, a very routine procedure when done by an experienced hand.
