During your visit
We numb the area thoroughly before starting, and monitor you closely throughout the procedure.
Extractions
Removed only when it's truly the best option.
Preserving your natural teeth is always our priority. An extraction is considered only when it's the clearest path to protecting your health.
When it's the right call
Three reasons we'd recommend removal.
A tooth may need to come out when decay or injury has left it beyond repair, when there isn't enough room in your mouth for it, or when a severe infection is present in the tooth, gum, or bone. In each case, removal can relieve pain, stop decay from spreading, and help prevent gum disease.
What to expect
Care during and after.
Some discomfort during the procedure is normal — our team keeps a close eye on you throughout.
The first hour
Sterile gauze is placed over the site to support clotting — plan to keep it in place for about an hour.
The next 48 hours
Expect some swelling over the next few days, managed with ice packs and any medication prescribed. Avoid smoking, alcohol, straws, rinsing, and strenuous activity during this window.
