While we hope to help you maintain your natural teeth, there are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth. The most common reasons are due to large amounts of decay, bone loss around the tooth, risk to neighboring teeth, infection, and to provide extra space for orthodontics. 

 

Before extracting a tooth, the team at Cooley Cosmetic and Family Dentistry will help you develop a plan to ensure the area with the missing tooth is restored to maintain your ability to smile and function. Once the plan is made, the extraction will be performed in a gentle manner to minimize pain after the extraction and decrease healing times.
