When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
You should consider a tooth extraction if a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or poses a risk to your overall oral health. Common reasons for extraction include severe decay, infection, advanced gum disease, overcrowding before orthodontic treatment, or impacted teeth that cannot erupt naturally.
In some cases, preventive removal can help avoid future complications. At Bend Oral Surgery, our expert team offers thorough evaluations to determine the best solution for your long-term oral health.

A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too severely damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved through restorative treatment. Common reasons for extraction include advanced decay that has compromised the structural integrity of the tooth, severe periodontal disease that has destroyed supporting bone, an abscessed tooth that poses a risk to surrounding teeth or systemic health, overcrowding prior to orthodontic treatment, and impacted teeth that cannot erupt naturally. At Bend Oral Surgery, our team provides thorough evaluations to determine whether extraction is truly the best option for your long-term oral health.

A simple extraction involves removing a tooth that is fully visible and accessible above the gumline. A surgical extraction is performed when a tooth is broken at or below the gumline, impacted, or positioned in a way that requires an incision and more involved removal. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. DeLisi specializes in complex surgical extractions and uses 3D CBCT imaging to map root position, nerve anatomy, and bone structure before proceeding, which reduces surgical risk and supports a smoother recovery.
Sedation options are available and discussed during your consultation to ensure your comfort and safety. Depending on the complexity of the extraction and your personal preference, options include local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. Sedation is particularly beneficial for patients with dental anxiety, complex extractions, or multiple teeth being removed at the same time. Dr. DeLisi’s anesthesia fellowship training ensures all sedation is administered with a high standard of care.
