Tooth Extractions & Preservations
Smart Care to Save Your Natural Teeth
When it comes to keeping your smile at its best, our team prioritizes preservation whenever possible. Tooth preservation is often the best option for maintaining your natural smile and avoiding future dental issues.
From strengthening teeth with root canals to supporting damaged areas with bone grafts, we focus on solutions that allow you to keep as much of your original smile as possible.
In some cases, however, a tooth extraction becomes necessary. When this happens, we ensure a straightforward, minimally invasive procedure to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Our team uses advanced techniques for smooth extractions and will guide you through every step to help you feel confident and prepared.
Extraction & Preservation Options
Whether preserving your natural teeth or providing expert extraction services, we’re here to ensure you get the care that suits you best. Discover our options for effective tooth preservation and safe extraction techniques.
When extraction is necessary, we use advanced methods to minimize discomfort and make the process as smooth as possible. Our team focuses on gentle, effective extraction techniques that prioritize your comfort.
Root canals can save your natural teeth by treating the infection inside and reinforcing the structure. We provide root canal treatments designed to preserve your tooth’s function and appearance.
When tooth preservation requires additional support, bone grafting strengthens and reinforces the area. This procedure helps prepare for implants and also to support overall oral health.

Tooth Extraction & Preservation FAQs
What are common reasons for tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction may be necessary due to severe decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding that can’t be resolved with other treatments.
Can you preserve a damaged tooth instead of extracting it?
Yes, our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth when possible, using techniques like root canals, bone grafting, and other preservation treatments.
Is the extraction process painful?
We use advanced anesthesia and techniques to make the extraction as comfortable as possible, typically with minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
What’s the recovery time after an extraction?
Recovery time varies, but most of our patients can expect initial healing within a few days. Our team also provides post-extraction care instructions for a smooth recovery.
When is bone grafting recommended?
Bone grafting is recommended if there’s bone loss in the jaw, especially when preparing for dental implants or supporting nearby teeth.
What should I expect during a root canal?
Root canals are straightforward and usually completed in one or two visits. We clean the infected area, fill it, and seal the tooth to prevent future issues.
