Extractions

Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved and needs a gentle extraction to avoid bigger problems like infection. For teeth with extensive tooth decay or advanced gum disease, an extraction is necessary to restore your oral health. There are rare times that trauma from an injury or sports may result in needing a tooth extracted because it results in a necrotic or “dead tooth.” When a tooth is extracted, there is a need for replacement or it can compromise the stability of the arch and cause teeth shifting. Similar to a domino effect, missing teeth can lead to increased risk for tooth decay and periodontal disease which also causes more tooth loss. To prevent this situation, it is important to have a plan for tooth replacement with dental implants, a bridge or a denture.
