Tooth Extractions

Although our goal is to help you keep your teeth for a lifetime, sometimes the best or only possible treatment is extraction of a tooth. In such a situation, our goal is to provide a safe and painless extraction. Often, we will recommend a treatment to help preserve the bone in the area which makes it possible to place an implant in the future.
