At Alta Dental Studio, one of our primary goals is to help you keep your natural teeth for as long as possible. With that said, there may be circumstances in which a tooth extraction is necessary to protect surrounding teeth or your oral health.
We only recommend removing a tooth as a last resort, after all other treatment options have been explored. When you come in for your consultation, our dentists will thoroughly evaluate your tooth and discuss all available options with you before moving forward with any treatment plan.
When Do Our Dentists Recommend Tooth Extraction?
Here are some of the cases when our dentists advise removing a tooth:
- Severe infection beyond what a root canal can handle
- Extreme damage, fracture, or decay
- Due to a large, broken-down restoration
- For facilitating orthodontic treatment
- Wisdom teeth
- For dentures
Children have primary teeth, and sometimes extraction is necessary to allow the adult (permanent) teeth to come through or due to trauma. In these cases, our team takes extra care to ensure the experience is as gentle and stress-free as possible for your child.
