When a tooth may need to come out

We always look at saving a tooth first. Sometimes removing it is the healthier choice.

Severe decay

When a cavity has destroyed too much of the tooth to repair with a filling or crown.

Wisdom teeth

Impacted or crowded wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection and damage to nearby teeth.

Broken teeth

A tooth that has cracked below the gum line often cannot be restored.

Gum disease

Advanced gum disease can loosen teeth beyond the point where they can be saved.

Crowding

Sometimes a tooth is removed to make room before straightening the rest.

Replacing it after

Ask about implants, bridges or dentures to fill the space and protect your bite.

Common questions

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

The area is fully numbed, so you should feel pressure but not pain. Laughing gas is available if you are anxious.

Do you remove wisdom teeth?

Dr. Tony will check your wisdom teeth on x-ray. Many can be removed right here. If yours need an oral surgeon, we will tell you and refer you.

How much does an extraction cost?

It depends on whether it is a simple or surgical extraction. We will tell you the cost before treatment starts, and most insurance is accepted.

How long is recovery?

Most people feel back to normal in a few days. We will give you clear aftercare instructions and check on your healing.

Should I replace the tooth?

Usually, yes, unless it is a wisdom tooth. A gap lets other teeth shift. Ask about implants, bridges or dentures.
