The answer to this question depends on the specific situation. In some cases, a general dentist may be able to perform the extractions needed for dentures. However, if the teeth are impacted or otherwise difficult to remove, an oral surgeon may need to be involved. It is always best to consult with your dentist or prosthodontist to get their professional opinion on whether you can have your extractions done by a general dentist or if you need to see an oral surgeon.
