Tooth Extraction in Santa Clara

Sometimes despite our best efforts, a tooth cannot be saved and must be extracted. This decision is not made lightly. It may not be restorable due to a vertical root fracture, large decay, or severe bone loss. Patients may have wisdom teeth erupting without the space in their jaws to accommodate them. Other times it is recommended by the orthodontist that bicuspids be removed due to lack of space.

We will carefully evaluate and determine whether extraction is indicated, referring to the oral surgeon if necessary. Options to replace the tooth will be reviewed.
