Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved due to severe decay, damage, or infection. In other cases, removal may be recommended as part of an orthodontic treatment plan.
We approach extractions with care and patience, focusing on making the procedure as smooth and comfortable as possible. You will always know what to expect before, during, and after your appointment.
