Sometimes the best way to protect your oral health is to remove a tooth that can no longer be restored. Tooth extraction involves carefully removing a tooth from its socket when keeping it could lead to ongoing pain, infection, damage, or other complications.
Dr. Divya Arora evaluates each tooth carefully before recommending extraction.
Our goal is to provide appropriate treatment based on your individual oral health needs.
We help you understand what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
Extraction is not always the first choice. When a tooth can be successfully restored, treatments such as a filling, crown, or root canal may be considered. However, removal may be appropriate when a tooth presents a significant risk to your oral health.

Before recommending extraction, Dr. Arora performs an examination and may use dental X-rays to evaluate the tooth, roots, and surrounding bone. If extraction is appropriate, your treatment will be planned according to your individual needs.
Afterward, following your dentist's instructions carefully can support proper healing. We can also discuss tooth-replacement options, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures, when appropriate.
