One of our primary aims is to help you preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible. If a tooth becomes so damaged or so decayed that it can no longer be salvaged, the appropriate solution is usually to have it removed and replaced. At Saline Oral Facial & Dental Implant Surgery, we have the skill and experience needed to remove non-viable teeth safely and expediently, all while promoting patient comfort and well-being. We are here to perform tooth extractions as needed for patients in Saline in the Ann Arbor, MI area.
When is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
An extraction may be necessary any time a tooth is too sick or damaged to be saved. Our practice typically performs tooth extractions for one of two reasons:
- The tooth has been badly fractured or broken in a traumatic accident.
- The tooth has a cavity/decay so advanced that it is impossible to fill or cap.
When all other treatment options have been exhausted, extraction may be the best way to protect the integrity of your smile, prevent damage to other teeth, and restore you to full form and functionality.
