WHAT IS TEETH REMOVAL?
Teeth removal, also called tooth extraction, is the removal of a tooth that cannot be restored safely.
We always evaluate conservative options first. Extraction is recommended only when it is the healthiest solution.
TYPES OF TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
Simple Tooth Extraction
Tooth is fully visible
Removed without surgical incision
Common for severely decayed teeth
Surgical Tooth Extraction
Tooth is broken, impacted, or below the gumline
May require a small incision
Often used for complex cases
Your dentist will clearly explain which option applies to you.

QUICK SYMPTOMS
You may need a tooth removed if you have:
Severe or persistent tooth pain
Swelling, infection, or abscess
A cracked or broken tooth beyond repair
Loose teeth from gum disease
Overcrowding or orthodontic preparation
If you’re in pain, don’t wait, early treatment helps prevent complications.
AFTER TOOTH REMOVAL: WHAT’S NEXT?
To protect your oral health, we may discuss:
Bone smoothing (alveoloplasty) for comfort
Ridge preservation to maintain bone
Tooth replacement options (implants, bridges, dentures)
Planning ahead helps prevent shifting teeth and bite problems.
