Why might I need an extraction?

Unhealthy or problematic teeth aren’t good for your oral health. Our team will always try to save your natural teeth, but sometimes a simple, painless tooth extraction is the best way to get your smile back on track. There are many reasons why a patient may need a tooth extracted. Wisdom teeth tend to cause discomfort that can be alleviated with extractions while some advanced restorative procedures, like dental implants, require the removal of unhealthy teeth. With a gentle technique and local anesthesia, extractions can be quick and painless.

Amazing experience! I tried to get an appointment the day after Christmas…The office was closed but they still monitored their email and responded to my request, suggesting I go to Urgent Care which I did. The staff was very kind as well as professional. The dentist was very knowledgeable and explained my options thoroughly, and he listened intently to me concerning my health conditions and wishes for treatment! I am in my mid sixties now and I can honestly say this was the Very Best experience I have ever had with a dentist! I am a patient here for the rest of my life! Thanks So Much! Cynthia
