You may need a tooth extraction for various reasons, such as decay, injury, or as part of orthodontic treatment. Whatever the reason, you’ll most likely be referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who will perform the extraction in-office using the appropriate type of anesthesia for your procedure.
When a tooth unfortunately needs to be removed, it’s essential to plan how it will be replaced. That’s why we aim to make the extraction process as minimally traumatic as possible. We use specialized tools that allow us to extract even severely damaged teeth while preserving the surrounding bone—since that bone will support the future dental implant used to restore your smile. Surgical timing plays a key role, as it affects the discomfort and swelling patients may experience. For this reason, we work efficiently and precisely to create a smooth, stress-free experience for those already coping with the loss of a tooth.
