Tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth cannot be predictably restored or when removal is needed as part of a broader treatment plan. Smile Seed Dental evaluates the tooth and discusses available options before treatment.
The assessment considers the tooth condition, surrounding tissues, symptoms and overall treatment plan. Dental imaging may be recommended when it helps evaluate the tooth and its roots.
When Extraction May Be Recommended
The dentist considers whether the tooth can be restored, the condition of surrounding tissues and how removal fits into the overall treatment plan. Alternatives are discussed when appropriate.
What to Expect
After extraction, the dentist provides after-care instructions and discusses any replacement or follow-up treatment that may be appropriate for the missing tooth.
