Extractions
Our dentists make every effort to preserve your natural teeth. However, extractions are necessary when decay has made the tooth unsalvageable or when you have an advanced periodontal disease. When a tooth is malformed, damaged, impacted or ingrown, different procedures are used, but all extractions are considered surgery. Depending on which tooth is removed, we can offer you a replacement in the form of a dental implant or oral prosthesis.
FAQ
Do I need my tooth extracted?
Our dentists will evaluate your tooth to ensure that there is no other alternative (we love teeth, so we really don't want to remove them unless absolutely necessary !)
What should I expect during an extraction procedure?
At our practice we strive to remove each tooth with the minimal amount of discomfort and trauma to both the tissues as well as the patient. For anxious patients we offer conscious intra-venous sedation, provided by a highly skilled and experienced qualified medical doctor.
