Tooth Extraction at West Ballantyne Dentistry
A tooth extraction involves carefully removing a tooth from its socket in the bone. While we always strive to preserve your natural teeth, there are situations where extraction is the best option for your oral health. At West Ballantyne Dentistry, our experienced tooth extraction dentists ensure that the procedure is quick and efficient, with a focus on your comfort.
We utilize local anesthesia and offer both oral and IV sedation options to help you feel relaxed throughout the process. After the extraction, following our aftercare instructions will help you recover swiftly and without complications
