When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth has become severely damaged, infected, or difficult to restore. In some cases, removing a problematic tooth can help prevent additional complications involving surrounding teeth and gum tissue.
Common reasons for tooth extractions include:
- Severe tooth decay
- Advanced dental infections
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Advanced gum disease
- Overcrowding
- Impacted teeth
- Teeth damaged beyond repair

Replacing Missing Teeth After Extraction
After a tooth extraction, replacing missing teeth is often important for maintaining oral function and preventing shifting of surrounding teeth. Depending on your needs, we may recommend restorative options such as dental implants, bridges, or other tooth replacement solutions to restore your smile.
