At Lakeshore Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we understand that tooth extractions are sometimes necessary for maintaining your oral health. While preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, there are cases where extraction is the best solution to protect your overall well-being. Our team of highly skilled professionals ensures that your extraction experience is pain-free, comfortable, and conducted with the utmost care.

When to Consider Tooth Extraction

There are several situations where tooth extraction becomes necessary, including:

Extensive Tooth Decay or Damage

Teeth that are too damaged for fillings, crowns, or root canals.

Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)

This leads to bone loss, causing teeth to become unstable.

Infection or Risk of Infection

When untreated infections threaten to spread, extraction may be required.

Overcrowding or Orthodontic Preparation

Creating space for orthodontic treatment, such as braces.

Problematic Wisdom Teeth

Removal of impacted, misaligned, or painful wisdom teeth
