Tooth Extraction — When Saving a Tooth Isn’t Possible

​

Extraction is considered a last resort when a natural tooth cannot be saved. This may occur due to severe decay, untreated disease, or damage beyond repair. Gum disease can also weaken teeth, making extraction necessary. In some cases, extractions are performed for cosmetic or orthodontic reasons, such as creating space for newly aligned teeth.​

 

How Long Does an Extraction Take?

 

The time required depends on the type and number of teeth being removed. To get an accurate estimate for your situation, give us a call — we’ll guide you through what to expect and answer any questions.
