Tooth Extractions
Houston, TX

Removing adult teeth is a significant decision that we don’t take lightly. But in some situations, tooth extraction is the best choice for your oral health.

Accidents or injuries to the face can cause severe dental trauma. This may lead to irreparable tooth damage. If dental restorations cannot salvage the tooth, extraction and replacement become the best course of action.

Overcrowding is another common concern. While we explore orthodontic options to address this issue, sometimes removing a tooth is necessary. Teeth that are too large for the mouth can cause crowding that cannot be resolved through orthodontics alone. Therefore, we may need to remove the tooth to prepare for successful orthodontics.  

Additionally, severely infected teeth may require extraction. When an infection reaches the pulp of a tooth, it can spread to other parts of the body. While we prefer to perform root canal treatments whenever possible, extreme infections may require extraction.
