At Hooks Family Dentistry, our top priority is to preserve your natural teeth at all costs, which is why you can trust that we’ll never recommend extracting a tooth unless there’s no way we can repair it. In these cases, a tooth extraction in Altavista may be the saving grace for your overall oral health, as many worsening oral health problems, like infections, can spread if left unattended to. In these situations, our team can conduct a comfortable extraction to preserve the health of your smile.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Typically, our dentists recommend tooth extractions in the following situations:

  • A tooth is causing you unbearable pain or discomfort.
  • A tooth infection has reoccurred in an already-treated tooth.
  • Severe decay has impacted a tooth beyond the ability for us to repair it with a filling.
  • A tooth has been damaged or cracked, and our team cannot repair it with a dental crown.
  • You want to undergo orthodontic treatment but don’t have enough room in your mouth.
  • Advanced gum disease has broken down the supportive soft and hard tissues surrounding a tooth.

If you have any questions during our examination, our dentists will be happy to answer them as well as further explain our findings, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations. We’re here to help and are always open to hearing your concerns!
