As dental professionals, our goal is to help you live a healthy life with all of your original teeth. However, there are times when we cannot save a tooth. There are a number of reasons for tooth removal. The kind of tooth extraction you are probably most familiar with is wisdom tooth removal. Because they often cause problems to nearby teeth & can get infected, wisdom teeth are often removed before or after they come in. Other causes for extractions include:

• Severe tooth decay
• Damaged, broken or infected teeth
• Teeth that do not come in correctly (or at all)
• Gum disease
• Making room for teeth to shift during orthodontic treatment
• Side effects from certain medications or treatments

No matter the reason, we use a conservative approach with all tooth extractions. While the title of “surgery” sounds serious, most oral surgeries & extractions are routine procedures. Our experienced doctor will perform your procedure with expert skill to ensure the most comfortable recovery & the best possible result.
