When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction is recommended when a tooth is too damaged or compromised to be restored.
Common reasons include:
- Severe tooth decay
- Advanced gum disease
- Broken or fractured teeth beyond repair
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- Infection that cannot be resolved with Root Canal Therapy
Our goal is always to preserve natural teeth when possible, but when extraction is necessary, we ensure the process is as comfortable as possible.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often require removal due to lack of space or improper positioning.
Wisdom teeth removal may be needed if you experience:
- Pain or swelling in the back of the mouth
- Impacted teeth (trapped beneath the gums)
- Infection or gum irritation
- Damage to nearby teeth
- Difficulty cleaning the area
Removing wisdom teeth early can help prevent more serious complications in the future.

- Examination and digital imaging
