What is tooth extraction?
Allo Dental Clinic provides tooth extraction near Yonge and Lawrence in Toronto. A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is badly damaged, infected, loose, or creating problems for the teeth around it. We first check whether repair is possible and explain the tradeoffs. Your dentist explains the diagnosis, options, expected fees, and referral needs before treatment begins.
Removal is never the first assumption. It is one option after diagnosis.
Your dentist examines the tooth, surrounding gums, bone, and X-rays before recommending removal. If a tooth can be restored predictably, we will tell you.
When extraction is the safer path, we plan comfort, aftercare, and replacement options before treatment begins. Complex surgical cases are referred when that is the better setting.
Is tooth extraction right for you?
