Tooth Extractions

Sometimes, your best treatment option is a tooth extraction. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is too damaged to be saved by other means or if it is causing crowding or alignment issues. Dr. Steven Tran will discuss with you whether a tooth extraction is a treatment option for you.

Reasons for Tooth Extractions: 

  • Severe Decay or Damage: If a tooth is too decayed or damaged to be restored, extraction may be necessary to prevent further infection or pain. 
  • Crowding: In cases of overcrowding, teeth may be extracted to make room for orthodontic treatment or to prevent bite issues. 
  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that don’t have enough space to grow properly can lead to pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth, requiring an extraction.

Benefits of Extractions: 

  • Preventing Complications: Removing problematic teeth can prevent infections, pain, and alignment issues. 
  • Supporting Oral Health: Extraction of damaged teeth can pave the way for healthier overall dental function, especially when paired with restorative options like implants or bridges.
