When a tooth is badly decayed, fractured, or infected, a tooth extraction can relieve pain and protect nearby teeth. At Magis Dental, we focus on a comfortable experience and a clear plan for what comes next—whether that’s a graft to preserve bone or a replacement like an implant or bridge.

When Is Extraction the Best Option?
We recommend removal when a tooth cannot be predictably saved with a filling, crown, or root canal. Common reasons include severe decay, vertical cracks, infection, or advanced gum disease. We’ll review X-rays, discuss options, and proceed only when removal is the healthiest choice.
What to Expect
Your comfort comes first. We numb the area thoroughly, gently loosen the tooth, and remove it with minimal trauma. If needed, we can place a socket graft to preserve bone for future implants. You’ll leave with step-by-step aftercare instructions and a direct line if questions arise.
The Benefits Of Dental Extractions
- Rapid pain relief – Address severe toothaches or infections.
- Protects other teeth – Prevents spread of decay or fracture forces.
- Future-ready – Socket grafting can preserve bone for implants.

Other Options For Tooth Extractions
After a tooth extraction, patients may consider additional treatments to restore function, appearance, and prevent future complications. One common option is dental implants, which replace the missing tooth root with a titanium post and support a lifelike crown. Other restorative choices include dental bridges, which anchor to neighboring teeth to fill the gap, or removable partial dentures for a more affordable solution. In some cases, a bone graft may be recommended to preserve or rebuild the jawbone structure, especially if a dental implant is planned later. Orthodontic treatment might also be advised to prevent surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space. These treatments help maintain proper bite alignment, support facial structure, and improve overall oral health.
