When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While we always prioritize saving natural teeth, there are situations where tooth extraction becomes the best option for your oral health:
Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Severe Tooth Decay – When damage extends beyond what fillings or crowns can repair
Advanced Gum Disease – If teeth have become loose due to bone loss
Impacted Wisdom Teeth – Preventing pain, infection, and crowding
Orthodontic Preparation – Creating space for proper teeth alignment
Fractured Teeth – When the tooth cannot be saved with root canal therapy
At Bender Dental Care, we use advanced diagnostics to determine if extraction is truly necessary, exploring all alternatives first.
