Benefits of Tooth Extractions

  • Relieve Pain and Discomfort 
    Remove severely damaged or infected teeth to alleviate pain.
  • Protect Oral Health 
    Prevent the spread of infection or damage to neighboring teeth.
  • Prepare for Future Treatment 
    Create space for orthodontics, dental implants, or other restorative care.
  • Prevent Crowding 
    Address overcrowding issues to improve oral function and aesthetics.

How Tooth Extractions Work

The extraction process begins with a thorough examination and X-rays to evaluate the condition of the tooth and surrounding bone. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area completely, ensuring a painless experience. If additional sedation is needed to help you relax, we’re here to accommodate your needs. After removing the tooth, we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort.
