Removing a tooth is the last option, not the first, and a tooth that can be saved should be. But a tooth split below the gum line, one with infection that has destroyed the bone holding it, or one crowding an arch beyond what orthodontics can correct has reached the point where keeping it costs more than replacing it.
At Bluewater Dental, our Juno Beach team performs simple and surgical extractions, and where an implant is planned we preserve the socket at the time of removal so the bone is ready. If the tooth might still be savable we will tell you, and root canal therapy is often the alternative.
Dr. Blake Willoughby leads our Juno Beach practice on Donald Ross Road, where we will tell you plainly if a tooth you were told to pull could still be saved.
