Extractions
A tooth may need to be extracted for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be restored. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your tempromandibular joint (TMJ), and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health. To avoid these complications, in most cases, Dr. Sarett will discuss alternatives to tooth extractions as well as replacement options.
