Tooth Extraction
Scottsdale, AZ

Tooth removal may be necessary for a variety of dental concerns. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Over-Retained Baby Teeth - When a baby tooth does not fall out naturally, it can interfere with the proper eruption and alignment of the permanent tooth.
• Severe Tooth Decay - Tooth decay that has progressed too far to be repaired may require removal to prevent infection and further damage.
• Severe Periodontal Disease - Also known as severe gum disease, when this disease affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth to a point of severe damage and infection, removal of the infected teeth is necessary. Prior to getting to this point we strive to provide care to maintain and prevent the progression of this disease.
• Wisdom Teeth Issues - Third molars often become impacted, crowd neighboring teeth, or develop decay, making extraction the healthiest choice.
• Severe Fractures or Cracks - When a tooth is too damaged to be restored, extraction helps preserve surrounding teeth and tissues.
• Overcrowding and Misalignment - In some orthodontic cases, one or more teeth may need to be removed to create proper spacing and alignment.

Our dental specialist carefully evaluates each situation before recommending a removal. We also walk you through alternative treatments to save the natural tooth whenever possible.
