Extraction may be recommended for severe decay, fracture, infection, advanced bone loss, or a tooth that prevents healthier treatment.
Before removal, we evaluate whether the tooth can be saved and discuss healing, replacement options, and the effect on neighboring teeth.
Too little healthy structure remains for a reliable repair.
A deep root crack can make preservation unpredictable.
The source cannot be resolved with restorative care.
Severe support loss may make the tooth unstable.
Position or infection may create ongoing risk.
Removal may be necessary before reconstruction or orthodontics.
Untreated infection or fracture can worsen suddenly. Early planning gives you more control over comfort, healing, and replacement.
We confirm the cause and the options before recommending treatment.
The result is planned to work comfortably and look natural.
Materials, bite, maintenance, and future needs are considered together.
