Tooth extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, we carry out the evaluation and extraction, keeping the procedure as comfortable as possible.
Pulling a tooth is always the last option: first we look at whether it can be saved with a restoration or a root canal. Only when there is no way to keep it do we move to extraction.
Beforehand we explain why it is necessary, what the procedure involves, and what your options are afterwards to replace the tooth — because leaving the gap for too long lets the neighboring teeth drift.
