Tooth extraction, a procedure aimed at removing a tooth, becomes essential when preserving a tooth’s health and function is no longer feasible. While our Beverly Hills dentist and team make every effort to protect your natural teeth and help you prevent damage, there are some circumstances where an extraction may be the best option. If this is the case for you, Dr. Daniel Charlton will work with you to ensure your comfort, help you recover and provide you with options for replacing the missing tooth or teeth.
When Tooth Extractions Are Necessary
- Severe Infection: When a tooth sustains extensive damage from an infection that has compromised not only the tooth itself but also the surrounding bone structure, extraction becomes a viable option. This prevents the spread of infection and preserves overall oral health.
- Irreparable Decay: Tooth decay, if left untreated, can reach a point where restoration is no longer feasible. In such cases, extracting the affected tooth is necessary to prevent further complications.
- Dental Crowding: Overcrowding of teeth can lead to misalignment issues, affecting both appearance and oral function. In cases where orthodontic treatments cannot resolve crowding, extraction of one or more may be recommended to achieve optimal alignment.
- Injury or Trauma: Teeth which are severely damaged due to injury or trauma may need to be removed if they are damaged beyond the point they can be successfully restored.
