Sometimes a tooth cannot be predictably restored. If removal is recommended, we explain why, review alternatives when available, and discuss what comes next.
A decision made with you
Severe decay, a fracture, gum disease, or tooth position may lead us to consider an extraction. An examination helps us understand your situation and make a recommendation.
Comfort and preparation
We explain the procedure and local anesthesia before starting. Tell us about medications you take and any concerns you have so we can plan your care.
After your appointment
You will receive instructions specific to your procedure. Follow those instructions and contact the office with questions about healing. We also discuss replacement options, such as an implant or bridge, when appropriate.
Your care is individual. An examination helps us explain the options, benefits, and considerations that apply to you.
