Extractions
Sometimes a tooth can’t be saved—and when that happens, our focus shifts to doing what’s healthiest for you. We approach extractions gently and thoughtfully, prioritizing comfort, preserving surrounding bone and tissue, and supporting proper healing. When appropriate, we’ll also discuss options to replace the missing tooth and maintain long-term oral health.
Thoughtful Planning Before Every Extraction
Before recommending an extraction, we carefully evaluate the tooth and surrounding bone using X-rays, paying close attention to root shape and anatomy to identify any curves or hooks that could affect the procedure. We also review your medical history to ensure the approach is safe and appropriate for you. When removal is the best option, we plan the procedure thoughtfully to minimize trauma and support smooth, predictable healing.
Gentle Technique and Patient Comfort
During an extraction, our priority is to work gently and deliberately. We use techniques designed to minimize pressure on the surrounding bone and tissues while keeping you comfortable throughout the procedure. We take our time, explain what’s happening as we go, and make adjustments as needed to ensure the experience is as smooth and controlled as possible. Afterward, we review clear post-operative instructions so you know exactly how to care for the area and support proper healing at home.
