What Are Tooth Extractions?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or cannot be restored with other dental treatments. Extractions may also be recommended to relieve overcrowding, prepare for restorative treatment, or eliminate teeth that are causing pain or infection. Our team prioritizes your comfort throughout the procedure by using gentle techniques and local anesthesia to ensure a positive experience. After an extraction, we’ll discuss replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to restore your smile and maintain your oral health whenever appropriate.
