When a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected and cannot be saved, a dental extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. Extractions can also be needed for impacted teeth, overcrowding, or in preparation for orthodontic or restorative treatment. Our goal is always to make this process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

In some cases, we may recommend a bone graft after the extraction. This procedure involves placing a small amount of bone material into the empty socket where the tooth was removed. The purpose of a bone graft is to preserve the shape and strength of your jawbone and to prevent bone loss, which naturally occurs after a tooth is removed.

Bone grafting is especially important if you plan to replace the missing tooth with a dental implant in the future. A strong, healthy jawbone provides the support implants need to function and last long-term.

Our team will carefully evaluate your situation and explain whether a bone graft is recommended, what to expect during healing, and how this step fits into your overall treatment plan. We’re here to ensure your care is complete, supportive, and tailored to your long-term dental health
