When it is recommended
Severe damage, infection, crowding, misalignment, or wisdom teeth that are causing or likely to cause problems.
When a tooth is too damaged, infected, crowded, or problematic to predictably save, extraction can relieve pain and create a healthier path forward.

Tooth damage beyond repair, severe infection, overcrowding, misalignment, and problematic wisdom teeth are common reasons an extraction may be recommended.
When removal is recommended, the team explains why the tooth cannot be predictably saved, how the visit will feel, and what replacement or healing plan makes sense afterward.
