If you need a incisor tooth extracted because of decay & it hasn't affected the root. will the root get taken out when you have a restoration?

Confusion: If a tooth cannot be saved and\or it is decided to remove\extract it, the entire tooth (crown and root) are removed.

Root will be removed: If the tooth requires extraction, that means the entire tooth; crown (top) AND root (bottom).
