Whenever possible, our dentists aim to preserve your natural tooth. In some situations, however, a tooth may be too badly decayed or damaged to restore with root canal treatment or dental crowns. Advanced gum disease can also cause significant gum recession or bone loss, leaving the tooth without enough support.
Before recommending removal, we carry out a detailed examination and take appropriate X-rays to understand the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues. We will explain the available options clearly and only proceed with your consent. If extraction is the most suitable step, we can discuss ways to replace the missing tooth, including a dental implant, bridge or partial denture. Our team will outline the benefits and considerations of each choice so you can make an informed decision about your oral health, comfort and confidence.
