A COMPLETE APPROACH TO TOOTH REPLACEMENT
When Is Tooth Extraction Recommended?
Whenever possible, dentists generally consider whether a tooth can be safely restored before recommending extraction. However, removing a tooth may be appropriate when it is severely damaged, infected or otherwise cannot be predictably restored.
Some situations that may require extraction include:
- Extensive tooth decay
- Severe tooth damage or fracture
- Advanced dental infection
- A tooth that cannot be adequately restored
- Significant gum or supporting bone problems
- Teeth that are causing other oral health concerns
OUR TOOTH EXTRACTION SERVICES
Tooth Removal Solutions Based on Your Needs
Dental implants can be used in several different ways depending on the number of missing teeth and your individual oral health.
Simple Tooth Extraction
A simple extraction may be recommended when a tooth is visible and can be removed without surgical access.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
Some teeth require a more involved extraction procedure because of their position, condition or surrounding structures.
Emergency Tooth Extraction
When a tooth is causing severe pain, infection or other urgent problems, an examination can determine whether extraction is necessary.
Broken Tooth Removal
A severely broken or damaged tooth may sometimes need to be removed when there isn’t enough healthy structure to restore it.
Infected Tooth Extraction
When a severely infected tooth cannot be predictably restored, extraction may be considered as part of the treatment plan.
Tooth Replacement Planning
If a tooth needs to be removed, your dentist can discuss appropriate replacement options such as a dental implant, bridge or denture when suitable.
