Gentle tooth extractions
We believe in preserving your natural teeth whenever possible, but sometimes an extraction is the best option for maintaining your oral health. Tooth extractions are a common procedure to relieve overcrowding, remove severely damaged teeth, or prepare your mouth for orthodontic treatment.
Using modern techniques and a gentle approach, our privately owned practice and compassionate team will ensure the process is as smooth and painless as possible. Schedule a consultation with us today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I brush my teeth after a tooth extraction?
Yes, but avoid brushing near the extraction site for the first 24 hours to allow healing to begin undisturbed.
Will I need antibiotics after a tooth extraction?
In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed if there’s a risk of infection, but they are not always necessary.
Is tooth extraction painful?
No, our team ensures your comfort by using local anesthesia to numb the area — you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some discomfort afterward is normal but manageable with pain relief recommendations.
What should I do if I experience severe pain after the extraction?
If pain persists beyond a few days or worsens, contact our office immediately, as it could indicate an infection or dry socket.
What foods should I avoid after an extraction?
Avoid crunchy, spicy, and sticky foods that could irritate the area or get stuck in the extraction site.
