General Dentistry

We always prefer to save a natural tooth. When that isn't possible, a careful extraction relieves pain and protects the teeth around it.

Replacing an extracted tooth

  • A dental implant — the closest option to a natural tooth
  • A fixed bridge anchored to neighbouring teeth
  • A partial denture for multiple missing teeth
  • We will help you weigh cost, timeline and longevity

Only When It's the Right Answer

Extraction is a last resort. We turn to it when a tooth is fractured below the gum line, when decay has destroyed too much structure to restore, or when advanced gum disease has compromised the supporting bone.

Before we proceed, we will explain why the tooth cannot be saved and what your options are for replacing it.

Comfort During and After

The area is thoroughly numbed before we begin, and most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable the procedure is. We will send you home with clear aftercare instructions.

We are available if you have questions during your recovery — just call the office.
