Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is one of the most common dental procedures, with millions of routine extractions performed by dentists annually. When a tooth is beyond natural repair because of decay, trauma or a tooth crowding, an extraction may be the next necessary step to take. Oftentimes, extractions are a routine part of taking care of your dental health.

Before an extraction, restorative options such as these should be considered:

• Root canal therapy
  
• Crowns
• Fillings
