When is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

Extractions are typically a last resort, but sometimes they are necessary to protect your oral health, relieve pain, or prevent further complications. Common reasons include:

Severe decay or infection that cannot be treated with a root canal

Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
Fractures below the gumline or vertical root cracks
Overcrowding, often before orthodontic treatment

Before any extraction, Dr. Chuan uses digital X-rays and 3D imaging to carefully plan the least invasive approach for the best possible outcome.
