When a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing significant discomfort, an extraction may sometimes be recommended.
At Maine Dentistry, our dentists evaluate each patient’s individual needs and discuss appropriate treatment options.
Whenever possible, preserving natural teeth is an important consideration. If an extraction is recommended, our team will explain the procedure, recovery expectations, and available options for replacing the tooth.
Call our Auburn office at 207-312-5422 to talk through your situation and whether an evaluation is the right next step.
