Benefits of Extractions & Preservation

How the Procedure Works

Extractions begin with a thorough consultation and evaluation, including X-rays, to assess the affected tooth and surrounding area. After discussing your treatment plan, we use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Surgical extraction is necessary if the tooth is impacted, while simple extraction is used for visible teeth. In some cases, preservation techniques like bone grafting are recommended to maintain the structure of the jaw for future restorations. Recovery is typically straightforward, with detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing.
