Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. If a tooth has been damaged by decay or fracture, we may try to repair it with a filling or crown, but if the damage is too severe, then you may be in need of an extraction. Many times people have extra teeth that simply block other teeth from coming in and this would call for an extraction as well. There are many reasons why you may be in need of an extraction, but regardless the issue, we are to help you regain your healthy smile.
