The dentists may determine a tooth is not salvageable under certain conditions.

One such condition is when too much structure has broken or decayed, leaving insufficient tooth material to build a restoration. This situation can be distressing, but we can usually replace lost teeth with modern dental treatments. There are different replacement options and will be discussed thoroughly with you.

For other patients, removing a tooth is not distressing but a fast and straightforward way to restore health. Sometimes, you may remove the tooth instead of keeping it. We understand if you feel that the process necessary to restore health to the tooth is not worth it. While a dentist can see the value of keeping a tooth, you may not always feel the same way.

At Edwards Dental, we are very empathetic to our patient’s needs and will always strive to offer all options and help you decide on your treatment’s direction.
