TOOTH EXTRACTIONS

We strive to help patients keep their smiles for a lifetime, but there are certain instances where extraction is the best option to maintain overall oral health. Some of the most frequent causes of tooth extraction include:

• Severe damage or decay affecting more the ¾ of the tooth and possibly negatively affects surrounding teeth and gums

• Removal to make space within the jawline for teeth to shift during orthodontic treatment

• Removal in preparation to receive a partial or full denture

• Third molar, wisdom tooth, extraction due to inadequate space to accommodate this final set of teeth
