How do I know if I need a tooth extraction?
Common reasons include severe decay, infection, crowding, or damage that can’t be repaired with a filling or crown. A dental exam will confirm the best course of action.
What’s the difference between an extraction and a root canal?
A root canal saves an infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp, while an extraction removes the tooth entirely when it can’t be saved.
Why might bone grafting be necessary before an implant?
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone that has deteriorated after tooth loss, ensuring there’s enough bone to support a future dental implant.
At what age are wisdom teeth typically removed?
Wisdom teeth are commonly removed during the teen or young adult years, though problems can develop later in life too.
What happens after a tooth is extracted?
We’ll discuss aftercare instructions and, if needed, tooth replacement options such as implants, bridges, or dentures.
