Safe Removal for Problem Teeth
Tooth extraction includes simple tooth extraction, surgical tooth extraction, and wisdom tooth extraction.
What Is a Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction safely removes damaged or problematic teeth to relieve pain, prevent infection, and protect your oral health. Simple tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is fully visible and can be easily removed, while surgical extractions are needed for teeth that are broken or impacted. Wisdom tooth extraction is a specific procedure to address issues caused by impacted or problematic wisdom teeth. Each procedure is designed to ensure comfort and promote quick recovery.
