You and Dr. Lipari /Mangiameli may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed. Others may have advanced periodontal disease or are broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth) or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

​

The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability and possibly lead to the shifting of teeth. This can have a major impact on your dental health.  To avoid these complications, one of our doctors will discuss alternatives to extractions as well as replacement of the extracted tooth.
