Although every effort is made to save a tooth, it is sometimes necessary to recommend extraction. On occasion, a tooth may be so damaged from tooth decay that it cannot be saved even with root canal therapy. It may be causing crowding or malocclusion (e.g. bad bite) which may prevent a new tooth from breaking through or the tooth may be loose as a result of gum disease or even from an accident.

Dr. Fader and his highly skilled staff have conducted hundreds of tooth extractions for their patients over the years.
