Tooth extractions

Extraction removes a tooth affected by severe decay, fracture, infection, crowding, or advanced gum disease.

What the appointment may involve

After examination and imaging, the tooth is loosened or surgically sectioned and the site is cleaned.

Ask about replacement timing, dry-socket prevention, and whether preserving the socket is advisable.
