When Are Tooth Extractions Needed?
While preserving your natural teeth is always the priority, extractions are sometimes the best option to protect your smile. Some common reasons for tooth extractions include:
- Severe decay or damage that cannot be repaired
- Advanced gum disease causing loose teeth
- Overcrowding in preparation for orthodontic treatment
- Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, that cannot emerge properly
Every extraction is performed with precision and care, using advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and support healing.
Caring for You Every Step of the Way

Before your extraction, our dentists will carefully evaluate your needs and answer any questions you may have.

After your extraction, we offer guidance to help you maintain your oral health and explore options for replacing the missing tooth if necessary.
What Happens During a Tooth Extraction?
The tooth extraction procedure begins with our dentists ensuring your comfort by numbing the area with a local anesthetic. For more complex extractions, such as impacted teeth, additional sedation options may be recommended. Once the area is fully numb, our dentists will carefully loosen the tooth using specialized instruments before removing it gently. If necessary, stitches may be placed to promote proper healing.
We prioritize your safety and comfort throughout the procedure, and we will provide you with aftercare instructions to help you recover smoothly. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and our team is always available to answer questions during the healing process.
