Dr. Constantina Bacopoulou ensures every procedure is performed with expert precision, compassion, and a deep commitment to preserving your smile’s function and appearance.
When Tooth Removal Is Necessary
Tooth extraction is never our first choice, but sometimes it’s the healthiest option. When a tooth is too damaged or decayed to repair, removal can relieve pain, prevent infection, and make room for long-term restorative solutions.
You may need tooth removal in NYC if:
- A tooth is severely decayed and cannot support a dental filling or crown
- There is an advanced infection or abscess
- Wisdom teeth are impacted or causing pain
- Overcrowding is affecting your bite or orthodontic treatment
- A tooth has fractured below the gum line
At Carnegie Dental Wellness, we always begin with a conservative approach. Dr. Bacopoulou will carefully examine your teeth, take digital imaging, and walk you through your options. If extraction is necessary, we’ll guide you through the entire process—step by step—so you know exactly what to expect.
And afterward? We’ll help you plan for what’s next, whether that means bone preservation, dental implants, or a custom replacement solution tailored to you.
