About extractions

Tooth extraction is indicated when a tooth is non-restorable due to extensive decay, fracture, severe periodontal bone loss, or failed root canal treatment. The decision to extract is made conservatively — extraction is recommended only when preservation is not clinically viable or is contrary to the patient's long-term oral health interests.

Every extraction is planned within the context of the patient's overall treatment goals. Where implant or bridge replacement is anticipated, extraction is coordinated with appropriate socket preservation grafting to maintain bone volume for future restoration.

Surgical extractions, impacted wisdom teeth, and more complex cases are referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, with full case coordination maintained throughout.
