Tooth Extraction
Dental extraction, also known as tooth extraction, is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is usually performed by a dentist or oral surgeon and may be necessary for various reasons.
Mission
While wisdom teeth are probably the most commonly extracted teeth, any tooth that is affected by disease, decay, or trauma may be a candidate for extraction.
Before recommending extraction, we will investigate all possible avenues for saving your tooth, perhaps with a procedure like a root canal or with a crown.
However, if it is not possible to keep your natural tooth the next best thing is to have an extraction done.
