Extractions
While saving natural teeth is always our priority, sometimes an extraction is the best option. Whether it’s a severely damaged tooth or problematic wisdom teeth, we provide gentle, careful extractions to protect your health and comfort.
Why It's Needed
-
Severe tooth damage or infection
-
Impacted wisdom teeth
-
Orthodontic needs (making room for alignment)
-
Advanced periodontal disease
What to Expect
We use advanced techniques and numbing agents to make extractions as comfortable as possible. Dr. King and Dr. Miles take care to ensure complete removal of the tooth and infected tissue. For more complex cases, we may recommend sedation options to help you relax or referral to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
