When It's the Right Choice

Do I Need a Tooth Extraction?

We all hope to keep our natural teeth for a lifetime, and that is always our first goal. We offer fillings, crowns, root canals, and preventive care to protect what you have for as long as possible.

Sometimes, an extraction is the kindest option for your long-term health. Whether the cause is severe damage, decay, an infection, crowding, or preparation for orthodontic care, you can count on us to handle it with experience and a gentle touch.

Common Reasons

When an Extraction Is Necessary

There are a handful of reasons an extraction may be recommended. We will always walk you through the why, the how, and what to expect next.

Severe Damage

When a tooth is too broken or injured to repair, we remove it gently to protect the rest of your smile.

Decay or Infection

If a tooth is beyond saving from decay or a deep infection, removing it can prevent the issue from spreading.

Crowded Teeth

If there is not enough room for all of your adult teeth, an extraction can help everything fit comfortably.

Orthodontic Prep

Sometimes removing one tooth makes space for Invisalign or braces to do their best work.
