If your tooth cannot be restored by a traditional dental restoration, Dr. James Dinger may recommend a tooth removal. This will help keep the rest of your mouth healthy and prevent the need for more extensive work. Our dentist will discuss replacement options with you before your tooth is removed to help ensure your dental needs are met.

We understand that tooth extraction can be a daunting prospect. Our goal at the end of the day is always to ensure your natural teeth remain healthy and function, but in some situations, the most effective way to restore your oral health is to extract a particularly damaged or problematic tooth. If our dentist and team recommend extraction, we will also explain the numerous tooth replacement options we offer so you can rest assured that you do not have to live with a missing tooth for long.
If our team has recommended a tooth extraction, it is likely for one of the following reasons:
- A significant section of the tooth or surrounding bone has been destroyed by infection.
- Overcrowding has caused consistent pain or orthodontic issues
- The tooth has been damaged beyond restoration by tooth decay.
If you agree to a treatment plan involving a tooth extraction, we will do everything we can to ensure the experience is as comfortable and pain free as possible. We will also provide you with comprehensive post-treatment care instructions to support your recovery and help you maintain your oral health.
