When your tooth is badly decayed or broken, or your wisdom teeth are impacted, you may need a tooth extraction.

Don’t delay treatment of an impacted, infected, or damaged tooth: Come to Unique Dental Care in San Leandro, California. The practice welcomes men, women, and their families from San Leandro, Castro Valley, Hayward, Oakland, San Lorenzo, and surrounding areas. Contact Unique Dental’s friendly staff for a tooth-extraction appointment by phone or via the online form.
Dr. Malik believes in saving your tooth whenever possible. But if your tooth is too badly damaged to be rescued with a filling or a root canal, or if your gums or bone are also damaged, he may have to extract your tooth.
Sometimes teeth must be extracted because you have too many to fit healthily in your mouth. When your wisdom teeth (third molars) aren’t able to come in properly and get stuck, also called impacted, below the surface of your gums, Dr. Malik removes them so your other teeth stay in proper alignment. Dr. Malik also may recommend a tooth extraction when you’re having your teeth straightened and you need more room for your teeth to align properly.
Even if you think your tooth might be damaged beyond repair, Dr. Malik may be able to restore it. Whenever you have the symptoms of a decayed or damaged tooth, you should come to Unique Dental Care for an evaluation. Signs that your tooth needs attention include:
