Tooth extraction
When a tooth cannot be saved, it is extracted gently under local anaesthetic, and suitable replacement options are offered.
When should a tooth be extracted?
Extraction is considered when a tooth is too decayed, fractured or infected to be saved. At Cabinet Dentylia, we always try to keep the tooth whenever possible, thanks to endodontics.
After the extraction, there are several replacement options: a denture, a bridge or an implant.
