Tooth Extractions: What to Expect

More on Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the surgical procedure of removing a tooth performed by a dentist or an oral surgeon. There can be several reasons for extracting a tooth, such as infection, rapid decay, impaction or wisdom teeth, preparing for dentures or various orthodontic requirements.

Key Benefits

  • Relieve pain
  • Prevent infection spread
  • Prepare for orthodontics
  • Improve oral health

A Healthier Smile

Tooth extraction may sound daunting at first, but with the right dentist, it should be a smooth process. Our dentists try their best to preserve your natural teeth. However, at times, extraction can be necessary for improved oral health, as a damaged or infected tooth may cause harm to the rest of the mouth.
