    I believe you can alpha out a tooth or morph it small. You could model a tooth with root to take the place of that tooth and then use that for the extraction.

    Oh awesome how do you do that how do you alpha the tooth

    On the texture for the teeth. Use an alpha mask. White is visible. Black is not visible. Greys create transparencies.

    These might help:

    You need to know where the tooth is you want to remove. For that I would use the UV template.

    Take that into an image editing program (Photoshop, Gimp, Paint Shop,...) and create a new layer and paint black where the tooth is. The rest shall be white.

    Save the black-and-white image as a jpg or png and put it into the cut-out oppacity channel for the tooth.

    surely you can just use geometry editor in daz to select the tooth polys then hide them rather than make a whole alpha mask, then apply it

    Hiding works only for that session, the next time one opens the scene, one must hide it again.

    Instead one can use the Geometry Editor to assign the tooth to a new material, which can be hidden with Cutout Opacity and that works also when opening the scene next time.
