Sometimes a damaged, decayed, or impacted tooth needs to come out to protect the rest of your smile.

Every extraction starts with an exam and imaging so we know exactly what we're working with before any procedure begins.
When a Tooth Needs to Come Out
Extractions are typically recommended when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to repair, when overcrowding requires more space, or when a wisdom tooth is impacted and causing pain or infection risk. During your exam, we'll explain exactly why extraction is being recommended and walk through any alternatives if they exist.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth often don't have enough room to come in properly, leading them to grow at an angle, get stuck beneath the gumline, or push against neighboring teeth. Left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. Most patients have their wisdom teeth evaluated in their late teens or early twenties, though impaction can be identified at any age through X-rays.
Replacing an Extracted Tooth
If you're having a tooth removed, we'll talk through your replacement options before the extraction, since planning ahead often makes the process smoother.
Removable Options
For patients missing several teeth or looking for a removable option, dentures and partials may be the right fit.
Permanent Options
If you'd prefer a permanent, non-removable solution, full mouth dental implants can replace missing teeth with a stable solution designed to function like natural teeth.
