When a tooth is in pain, not restorable, or potentially problem causing, it will be extracted. Extractions are usually done under local anesthesia. If an implant is used to replace the tooth, a bone graft will usually be placed in the extraction site to preserve the bone.

​

Extractions are usually a last resort, not first choice. We will do everything we can to save and preserve the tooth before resorting to extraction.
