In tooth extraction, we will explore two options, simple and surgical, depending on the size, shape, and position of your tooth in the mouth.
A simple extraction is ideal for teeth visible above the gum line. To ensure maximum comfort, we will numb your tooth and gum tissue. Using a special instrument called an elevator, we will loosen your tooth and then use dental forceps to pull it off the socket.
A surgical extraction is complex and feasible for broken teeth or those still in the gums. The latter includes wisdom teeth, which in most people become impacted. The procedure includes making an incision into your gum to remove bone, gum tissue, or both. Depending on the state of the tooth, we will remove the tooth in pieces.
