Why Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?
While we always prioritize saving natural teeth, extractions become necessary when:
✔ Severe Tooth Decay has compromised the tooth beyond repair
✔ Advanced Gum Disease has loosened the tooth’s support
✔ Impacted Wisdom Teeth are causing pain or crowding
✔ A Broken or Cracked Tooth cannot be restored with a crown or filling
✔ Orthodontic Treatment requires space for proper alignment
✔ Risk of Infection (such as with compromised immune systems)
