When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, extensively decayed or affected by advanced gum disease. Extractions may also be necessary to prepare for orthodontic treatment or remove problematic wisdom teeth.
Our team will always explore every suitable option before recommending removal and will discuss replacement options where appropriate.
