Why Teeth May Need Extraction
Teeth may require extraction for several reasons, including:
Tooth Decay: When tooth decay is too advanced to be treated with a filling or root canal, extraction may be necessary to prevent further damage and infection.
Wisdom Teeth: Sometimes the jaw does not have enough space to accommodate wisdom teeth (third molars), leading to potential problems such as impaction, overcrowding, and infection.

Overcrowded Teeth: In cases of severe overcrowding, teeth may need to be extracted to create space for proper alignment.
Impacted Teeth: Teeth that are stuck in the gums and cannot emerge properly can cause pain and damage to surrounding teeth, therefore may need an extraction.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
As teens enter adulthood it’s a good time to evaluate their wisdom teeth (or third molars). Wisdom teeth are often removed because the jaw of modern humans is sometimes not large enough to provide adequate space for the teeth to emerge without complication.
During this evaluation we will determine if the teeth are likely to become problematic in the future by becoming impacted, overcrowded or infected, and discuss treatment options with you based on these findings.
If you do choose to retain your wisdom teeth, our expert dentists can provide information on the extra care practices required since these teeth are prone to decay and gum disease.
Extracting Diseased Teeth
Extraction may be the best option to maintain oral health and prevent further complications if the teeth can’t be repaired with methods like root canals. But don’t worry, here at Spark dental we are here to help.
Reasons for Extraction
Teeth may need to be extracted due to:
- Teeth being broken at or Below the Gum Line: When a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be repaired, extraction may be necessary.
- Trauma or Accidental Damage: Teeth that are severely damaged due to an accident may need to be extracted if they cannot be restored.
- Bone Loss Due to Periodontal Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can cause significant bone loss, leading to the need for extraction.
- Preparation for Full Dentures: In preparation for full dentures, some or all remaining teeth may need to be extracted to ensure a proper fit.
- Orthodontic Treatment for Overcrowding: To achieve optimal alignment, some teeth may need to be extracted as part of an orthodontic treatment plan.
