How Tooth Extractions Work

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, extensively decayed, infected, fractured, or otherwise cannot be restored predictably.

We consider tooth-preserving options whenever they are clinically appropriate. If removal is necessary, we plan the procedure around your oral health, medical history, comfort, and recovery needs.

When Might a Tooth Need to Be Removed?

An extraction may be considered when a tooth has:

  • Extensive decay that cannot be predictably restored
  • Severe structural damage
  • A fracture that extends into an area that cannot be repaired
  • An infection that cannot be managed with appropriate treatment
  • Significant damage caused by trauma
  • Severe looseness related to advanced gum disease
  • A position that creates a significant dental problem

An examination helps us determine whether removal is appropriate for your individual situation. If you need tooth extractions near you, we will explain the findings and discuss the available options.
