Extracting or saving a tooth is a dilemma that we at VEGA solve after performing a thorough clinical examination and a complete diagnosis of the problem with the help of sophisticated and precise equipment. After assessing the risk of the tooth’s permanence, in a conversation with the patient and informing him about the advantages and disadvantages of the therapy, as well as the risks of the tooth, classified according to a world-recognized classification, we decide whether the tooth will be treated or will have to be extracted.
Our principle is that teeth should be preserved and their therapy should enable active use without problems for many years.
On the other hand, we thoroughly assess high-risk teeth and together, with the patient, decide how we will cure them and what can be expected from them.
Teeth that are hopeless, such as: vertically fractured roots; neglected, gangrenous roots without enough healthy tooth substance to support them at all; as well as semi-impacted teeth causing caries on adjacent teeth or repeated infections are some of the indications when a tooth must be extracted.
