Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, gentle extraction gives way to healing—safely and effectively preserving your dental health.
The Process
You’ll receive local anesthesia for comfort. The tooth is loosened using an elevator, then removed with forceps. In complex cases, surgical removal or sectioning may be required. The site is cleaned and may be sutured when needed.
The Results
Most patients heal smoothly with proper care. Follow these post-op steps to support recovery and avoid complications like dry socket.
Care Tips After the Treatment
Avoid straws, tobacco, or vigorous rinsing to protect the blood clot
Stick with soft foods and gentle hygiene for the first day
Use cold packs and rest to reduce swelling
Return for follow-ups to ensure healthy healing
