Extractions

The goal of dentistry is to promote good oral health and comfort so that you and your family can lead a healthier life and eat the foods you love. We recommend dental extractions only as a last resort to protect your health, eliminate symptoms, or reduce pain – and it is never a recommendation that we make lightly.

Conditions That May Require a Tooth Extraction

  • Overcrowding
  • Wisdom teeth
  • Non-restorable fractures
  • Advanced periodontal disease
  • Unsuccessful root canal therapy
  • A tooth broken at the gumline
  • Trauma due to an accident

We strive to provide efficient, effective, and successful dental extractions so that you can get on the road to recovery quickly. Simple extractions involve teeth that have erupted fully from the gums. In the case of simple extractions, we can see the crown of the tooth before we begin. They usually do not require stitches during the healing process.

I give them 10 stars!

My daughter loves it here... they made her feel so at ease and they did a perfect job with her teeth! They are very nice, caring, and patient with little ones. They are also very thorough and answer any questions parents may have. Their whole demeanor is quite calming and peaceful which is much needed for a dental office especially for children. I give them 10 stars! Perfection!☺ We won't be going anywhere else.. that's for sure!
