Our practice is very conservative and extractions of natural teeth will never be our first choice. However, there are circumstances where removal of a tooth is necessary:
- The tooth is extremely decayed or infected and is not savable
- The tooth becomes weak due to gum disease
- The tooth is broken or fractured and the longevity of the tooth is questionable
- When an Orthodontist determines that a tooth/teeth needs to be extracted to create space for the remaining teeth
- Wisdom Teeth extractions to prevent impaction. Usually this procedure will be performed by an Oral Surgeon.
Rest assured, if an extraction is necessary we can help you explore options to replace the gap in your smile created by the missing tooth. There are several options for replacing a single or multiple missing teeth:
- Dental Implant
- Fixed Dental Bridge
- Partial Denture
