Tooth Extraction
Tooth removal when necessary, with treatment planning and aftercare tailored to your needs.
What This Treatment Involves
When a tooth cannot be saved due to extensive decay, advanced fracture, severe periodontal disease, or impaction, extraction may be necessary. Our office approaches tooth removal with gentle techniques designed to preserve surrounding alveolar bone and soft tissue.
General 3-Stage Restorative Care Overview
Discussion of medical history, oral health, and necessary 2D/3D diagnostic imaging.
Collaborative selection of biocompatible materials, conservative techniques, and care steps.
Placement of the restoration and periodic review to ensure long-term stability and comfort.
When Considered & What Evaluation Involves
Radiographs evaluate root curvature, proximity to nerves, and surrounding bone density to ensure planned, conservative tooth mobilization.
Considerations & Clinical Context
Tooth extraction creates a space that may lead to drifting of neighboring teeth or bone loss if replacement options are not evaluated.
Our Approach at the Practice
Careful socket debridement, ozone disinfection, and PRF placement may be discussed to support socket healing and future restorative options.
