If Your Tooth Suffers Severe Damage
When we see a patient whose tooth is significantly damaged, our first response is always to cover the tooth with a dental crown. However, sometimes injury is too severe for even a crown. In this case, we may remove the tooth and then suggest a suitable replacement.
If Root Canal Treatment Fails
When infection takes hold of your tooth, we strive to remove the infected pulp with root canal therapy to save the tooth. However, if the treatment fails or if the infection is too severe, a dental extraction is essential for protecting your smile and your overall health.
If Your Wisdom Tooth Is A Problem
Wisdom teeth can develop in a healthy manner – or they can threaten your oral health. If you suffer from an impacted or improperly erupting tooth, we may suggest a dental extraction to protect your comfort and health.
If You Need Additional Space
Do you need orthodontic care for overcrowding? If so, the first step in your treatment plan may include dental extractions to create sufficient space to align your teeth.
