Tooth Extractions

What Are Tooth Extractions?

Tooth extractions are surgical procedures to remove teeth that are severely damaged, decayed or causing crowding or orthodontic issues. Dr. Ken and Dr. Powell perform tooth extractions with precision and care, ensuring patient comfort and safety. Whether it is a simple extraction of a tooth that is fully visible or a more complex procedure for a tooth that is broken, below the surface or impacted, our dentists and team are equipped to handle your dental needs.

Benefits of Tooth Extractions

Removing a problematic tooth can provide relief from pain and prevent further oral health issues. Extractions can also make way for orthodontic treatments to correct misalignment and overcrowding. At ConfiDent Smile Studio, we focus on preserving natural teeth whenever possible; but when extraction is necessary, we utilize the latest techniques and sedation options to ensure the process is as smooth and pain-free as possible.
