The point of any restorative dental treatment is to address whatever is threatening your tooth and restore your oral health and bite function. Extracting the tooth is necessary to accomplish those goals in several cases, such as:
If your tooth has become so compromised or impacted that extracting it is the only recourse, then there may not be any alternatives other than waiting for it to fall out. However, hesitating can allow your condition to grow worse, and by then, you may need treatment for more than just your tooth.
Despite the need for extracting a tooth, your dentist may recommend a treatment plan for replacing it to avoid the complications that might arise from tooth loss. In many cases, the best option is to replace it with a dental implant and crown, which replaces the root of your lost tooth as well as its visible part.
Under the right circumstances and, in many cases, with an appropriate restoration plan afterward, tooth extraction can be the best way to preserve your smile.
