Tooth Extraction
Gentle, expert care when a tooth needs to come out. Whether due to damage, infection, or overcrowding, we make tooth extractions as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
How It Works
After numbing the area, your dentist carefully removes the affected tooth. Depending on your needs, we may recommend socket preservation, a replacement option like an implant, or follow-up care for healing.
The Benefits
Tooth extractions relieve pain, prevent infection, and make space for healthier alignment or restorations—supporting your overall oral health.
What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket, typically done when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to repair, or when overcrowding impacts your bite. While it’s often a last resort, extractions can be necessary for preserving the health of your mouth and preventing future complications.
