Tooth Extraction

When your dentist tells you a tooth needs a root canal, pulling it instead can feel like the smart money move. Tooth extraction looks cheaper on paper — sometimes by a thousand dollars or more. But for many Mableton patients, that decision ends up costing three to five times more over the following years, once bone loss, shifting teeth, and replacement costs enter the picture.

A tooth extraction removes a tooth from its socket in the bone. At our dental practice in Mabelton, GA, we perform extractions only when necessary to protect your oral health. You might need an extraction if you have severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, or damaged teeth that cannot be repaired through other dental procedures.
