What Are Tooth Extractions?
Tooth extractions involve the removal of a damaged, decayed, or problematic tooth. While our priority is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, certain situations—such as severe decay, advanced gum disease, or overcrowding—may require a tooth to be removed to prevent further complications.

Common Reasons for Tooth Extractions
- Severe Decay or Infection: When a tooth is too damaged to be restored, removal is necessary to prevent the spread of infection.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that fail to emerge properly can cause pain, crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth.
- Overcrowding: Extraction may be needed to create space for orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign.
- Advanced Gum Disease: Teeth affected by significant bone loss may need to be removed for overall oral health.
