Tooth extractions are a common procedure aimed at preserving or enhancing your oral health and overall well-being. Our experienced Glendale oral surgeon and team are committed to making your tooth extraction process as smooth, efficient, and comfortable as possible.

Understanding Tooth Extractions

Tooth extraction involves the careful removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While our primary goal is always to save and restore your natural teeth, certain situations may necessitate an extraction to prevent further health issues and improve the quality of your smile. These situations include:

  • Severe tooth infection that compromises the tooth and surrounding bone
  • Extensive decay rendering a tooth irreparable
  • Overcrowding where teeth do not have enough space in the mouth, affecting alignment and oral function
  • Trauma and injury which damages a tooth beyond the point where it can be restored
