Tooth Extractions in Marysville, CA
Gentle, careful removal when a tooth cannot be saved
When Extraction Is the Right Choice
Removing a tooth is always a last resort. At Charles F. Kattuah, DDS in Marysville, Dr. Kattuah will first explore every option to save your natural tooth — from crowns and root canal therapy to other restorative approaches. When extraction is the best path forward, we make the procedure as comfortable and straightforward as possible.
Common reasons for extraction include severe decay that cannot be restored, advanced infection, impacted teeth, and preparation for orthodontic treatment or dentures. Dr. Kattuah will explain why extraction is recommended, what to expect, and what replacement options are available after healing.

Tooth Replacement After Extraction
Once an extraction site has healed, replacing the missing tooth is an important next step for most patients. A gap left by a missing tooth can cause the surrounding teeth to shift over time, which may lead to bite problems, difficulty chewing, and additional wear on remaining teeth. Replacing a missing tooth also helps preserve the jawbone in that area, which naturally begins to recede when it no longer supports a tooth root.
At Charles F. Kattuah, DDS, Dr. Kattuah will walk you through the replacement options that best fit your situation. For many patients, dental implants offer the most natural-looking and longest-lasting solution, functioning just like a natural tooth. If an implant is not the right fit, dental bridges can fill the gap by anchoring to adjacent teeth, while dentures provide a reliable option when multiple teeth need to be replaced. We take the time to explain the pros and cons of each approach so you can make a confident, informed decision.
