Tooth Extraction in St Albans

We may recommend extraction if:

• The tooth is too badly decayed or fractured to repair reliably
• Advanced gum disease has made the tooth loose beyond treatment
• A wisdom tooth is impacted, repeatedly infected or causing damage to neighbouring teeth
• An overcrowded mouth needs space for orthodontic treatment
• A retained baby tooth is preventing an adult tooth from erupting correctly

After extraction we'll discuss the best way to fill the gap — typically a dental bridge, dental implant or a denture. Replacing missing teeth promptly is important for maintaining your bite, facial appearance and the long-term health of the teeth on either side. As your dentist in St Albans, we'll guide you through every option and help you choose the one that best suits your smile and your budget.
