What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, extractions are sometimes necessary to prevent complications, relieve pain, or prepare for orthodontic treatment. We offer both simple and surgical extractions based on your specific needs.
Benefits of Tooth Extractions
- Pain Relief: Eliminates discomfort from damaged or infected teeth.
- Prevents Infection Spread: Stops bacteria from affecting nearby teeth and gums.
- Resolves Crowding Issues: Creates space for orthodontic alignment.
- Prepares for Dental Restorations: Enables implants, dentures, or bridges.
- Quick & Effective Procedure: Performed with precision for minimal discomfort.
- Protects Overall Oral Health: Prevents complications from problematic teeth.
