Severe Decay
When a cavity reaches too deep to repair with a filling or crown, removing the tooth stops further damage and infection.
Get fast, comfortable relief so you can eat, sleep, and smile again. Dr. Alex Afsahi and our caring team make extractions calm and easy—with same-day appointments when you need them most.
A tooth can often be saved—but when it can't, a timely extraction protects your health and ends the pain. Here are the most common reasons our patients come in.
When a cavity reaches too deep to repair with a filling or crown, removing the tooth stops further damage and infection.
A painful, throbbing infection that can't be treated with a root canal often requires extraction to protect surrounding teeth.
Removing a tooth can create room for proper alignment—often part of orthodontic or braces preparation.
An injury or crack below the gum line may leave extraction as the safest option to prevent ongoing pain.
Impacted or crowded wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and shifting. Timely removal prevents future problems.
In sudden, severe cases we offer same-day emergency extractions to relieve your pain fast—call us right away.
