First, we’ll decide if a tooth extraction is the best course of treatment for you. We’ll do everything we can to save your tooth using restorative procedures.

 

However, in some cases a tooth extraction is the best option to help you:

​

Above all else, Dr. Patel will help you feel comfortable and empowered about your decision to take control of your dental health.​​​

​

Why Are Extractions Needed?

 

Are you suffering from a toothache?

It may be a sign of underlying infection and disease. In some cases, this may require a tooth extraction to prevent risks to your health.

 

Do you still have your wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth extractions are common and Dr. Patel will help you understand whether your wisdom teeth pose a risk to your dental health or not.

​

Are you experiencing chronic headaches or jaw pain?

Broken down or infected teeth may contribute to headaches and pain in your jaw. If other treatments don’t work, an extraction may provide relief.

 

Were you in an accident?

Car crashes, sports injuries, on-the-job accidents, and other mishaps can cause severe damage to your teeth sometimes necessitating a tooth extraction.
