Our goal is always to save your natural teeth whenever possible. However, there are times when a tooth is so damaged or infected that removing it is actually the best thing for your overall health. An extraction can stop the spread of infection and pave the way for a healthier, more stable smile replacement.

Managing a Cracked or Failing Tooth

If a tooth is cracked deep into the root or has a massive cavity that a crown can’t fix, an extraction is often required. Leaving a failing tooth in place can lead to painful abscesses and even systemic health issues. We perform these extractions gently and efficiently.

Preserving the Site for the Future

When we remove a tooth, we often perform “socket preservation.” This involves placing a small amount of bone-growth material into the empty space. This keeps the jawbone from shrinking, which is vital if you decide to get a dental implant later on.

Conclusion:

Removing a problem tooth is the first step toward a healthier, pain-free life.
