Tooth Extractions

This treatment is often necessary when other options, such as fillings or crowns,
are no longer viable. Additionally, tooth extractions may be performed to create
space for orthodontic treatments. To potentially avoid the need for extractions, patients should consider options like invisible braces.

Non-Surgical Extraction

Simple Extraction

A simple extraction is a non-surgical procedure
for teeth that are visible in the mouth. Our dentist administers a local anesthetic to ensure comfort,
then uses dental forceps to loosen and remove the tooth. This method is minimally invasive and typically quicker than surgical extractions.
