Extractions

Sometimes a tooth can't be saved because of advanced decay, damage, infection, or crowding. An extraction removes the tooth safely so the area can heal and the surrounding teeth and gums stay healthy. It's for any patient facing this situation, including those who need their wisdom teeth removed. During your visit, we numb the area completely, remove the tooth gently, and make sure you're comfortable before anything begins. Afterward, we walk you through simple aftercare so healing goes smoothly, and we talk through ways to replace the tooth, such as an implant, bridge, or denture, when that makes sense. We never recommend an extraction lightly. We look at whether the tooth can be saved first, explain what we're seeing in plain language, and move at a pace that feels right to you. When removal is the best choice, we make it as calm and comfortable as possible.
