Whenever possible, we aim to help patients preserve their natural teeth. However, in some cases, a tooth extraction may be needed if a tooth is severely damaged, infected, loose, painful, or cannot be predictably restored.
At Smiles By Bis in Oakville, Dr. Abhay Dhand provides patient-centered care and clear guidance when an extraction may be part of your treatment plan. His calm and friendly approach helps patients understand what is happening, why treatment may be recommended, and what to expect before moving forward.
When a Tooth Extraction May Be Needed
A tooth extraction may be recommended for:
- Severe tooth damage
- Advanced decay
- Infection
- A cracked or broken tooth that cannot be restored
- Severe gum disease affecting tooth stability
- Problem wisdom teeth
- Orthodontic or treatment planning reasons
- A tooth causing ongoing pain or swelling
What to Expect
Before recommending an extraction, Dr. Dhand will examine the tooth, review any necessary imaging, and explain the situation clearly.
If an extraction is recommended, our team will discuss the process, comfort options, and aftercare instructions so you feel informed and supported throughout your visit.
Planning the Next Step
After a tooth is removed, it may be important to discuss replacement options depending on the location of the tooth and your long-term oral health needs.
This may include a dental bridge, denture, implant consultation, or another restorative option. Dr. Dhand will help you understand your options so you can make a decision that feels right for your health, comfort, and smile.
