When Tooth Extractions Are Necessary

Dentists prioritize saving a natural tooth whenever possible, but in some cases extraction becomes the best option. This can include a tooth that's severely cracked or damaged beyond repair, too decayed to support a filling or crown, or affected by significant gum disease or infection.

Tooth Extractions Made More Comfortable

Extractions are a common dental procedure, but we know they can feel intimidating. Our team uses local anesthetic to numb the area and help minimize discomfort throughout the procedure, and sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious about dental visits.
