Tooth Extraction Charleston, SC

Tooth extractions are recommended when a tooth cannot be maintained without affecting surrounding bone, gum health, or overall oral stability. When removal is necessary, the procedure is carefully planned to support proper healing.

At our practice, extractions are performed using techniques designed to protect the surrounding tissues and preserve bone whenever possible.

Why Tooth Extractions Are Sometimes Necessary

A tooth extraction may be recommended when keeping the tooth would compromise your oral health or overall wellbeing.

Common reasons include:

• Advanced tooth decay that cannot be restored
• Periodontal disease affecting the tooth’s support
• Infection that does not respond to treatment
• Cracked or fractured teeth beyond repair
• Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
• Preparation for dental implants or restorative treatment
• Dental trauma from injury or accident
