While we always strive to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes extraction becomes necessary to protect your overall oral health and well-being. Our modern dental practice uses advanced techniques to ensure your tooth extraction experience is as comfortable as possible.
Most deciduous (baby) teeth fall out naturally as permanent teeth develop. However, sometimes baby teeth remain firmly attached because:
These over-retained baby teeth can disrupt your child’s dental development and alignment. At Amazing Smile Dentistry, we carefully monitor your child’s dental growth and will recommend extraction only when necessary to support proper permanent tooth eruption.
Dental decay begins as a small defect in your tooth’s enamel but can quickly progress deeper into the tooth structure. Without timely treatment, cavities can cause:

As part of comprehensive orthodontic treatment to create a properly aligned smile, strategic extraction of select teeth may be necessary. Dr. Gelo works closely with orthodontic specialists to determine if extractions will benefit your treatment plan.
Before any extraction procedure, we:
