When is a Tooth Extraction Recommended?

Book An Appointment

Our multi-specialty team in Hawthorne uses digital diagnostics to determine if an extraction is the best course of action. Common reasons include:
- Severe Decay: When a tooth is too damaged for a filling or crown.
- Advanced Gum Disease: If bone loss has made the tooth unstable.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: To prevent crowding or infection in the back of the mouth.
- Orthodontic Preparation: Sometimes, teeth must be removed to create space for braces or Invisalign.
Fractured Teeth: Specifically cracks that extend below the gum line.

Extraction Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does a tooth extraction hurt?
- A: With modern numbing techniques, you shouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. You may feel some pressure, but the area will be completely frozen.

- A: Most Hawthorne patients return to work or school within 1–2 days. Complete gum healing takes about 2–3 weeks.
Q: What happens if I don't replace an extracted tooth?
