Quick & Painless Tooth Removal for a Healthier Smile
The removal of single teeth may be necessary to maintain the health of your remaining teeth and mouth. After evaluating all options and doing as much as possible to save a tooth, extraction may be your best or only option.
- Periodontal disease
- Severe decay
- Badly broken tooth, beyond repair
- Poorly positioned teeth
After determining that an extraction is necessary, Fortson Dentistry will discuss options with you for replacing the extracted tooth. Having a gap in your teeth can cause the teeth and jaw to shift, creating problems with chewing and dental health.
