Tooth Extractions

You and Dr. Nguyen may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

It is critical to preserve bone when someone needs dental extractions for orthodontic treatment.  Without proper techniques, bone loss can happen when a tooth is extracted.  Consequently, this will affect the outcome of the orthodontic treatment.
