What Are Extractions?

Tooth Extractions

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a damaged, decayed, or problematic tooth is carefully removed from the mouth. Extractions are recommended when a tooth cannot be saved or when keeping it may affect your oral health.

At our clinic, we perform safe, comfortable, and gentle tooth extractions using modern dental techniques and local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
