What is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth. While we aim to preserve teeth whenever possible, sometimes extraction is necessary to protect your smile’s health. A tooth extraction may be needed if you have one or more teeth that are severely damaged, including:

• Severe Infection: When infection has destroyed most of the tooth or its supporting bone structure.
• Severe Tooth Decay: When decay has damaged a tooth beyond repair and cannot support a restoration.
• Crowding of Teeth: To alleviate crowding and improve oral health.
