Our top goal at Cory Williams DDS Dentistry is to preserve natural teeth whenever we can.
But while we never recommend a tooth extraction lightly, it is the best option in some cases.
If you have a tooth that is unrestorable or one that’s harming other teeth, it may be best to remove it. Count on our dental team for quality care and pain-free tooth extractions. We will remove the tooth and even discuss options about our restorative treatments to replace it.

Why is Tooth Removal Necessary?
While we strive to avoid the need to remove a tooth whenever possible, certain conditions may make tooth extraction the most effective option for returning your smile to good health and function.
Some examples of times we may remove a tooth include:
- Severe infection that has destroyed a significant portion of the tooth and supporting bone structure
- Serious decay that has damaged a tooth beyond repair, making a successful restoration impossible
- Crowding caused by too many teeth to properly fit in the mouth
What Happens After a Tooth Extraction?
Following the tooth extraction, we are happy to provide you with one of our excellent tooth replacement treatments to restore your smile to optimal health, beauty, and function. Our tooth replacement options include:
In some cases, we may not replace the tooth because that would once again overcrowd the mouth. This is often true when we remove a back/ non-visible tooth before orthodontic treatment.
