Hearing about dental extractions is not fun, but in some cases, it is necessary. If that is the case, our team here at Tavistock Family Dentistry will first provide you with all the information you need, including why this is the best course of action. 

We will always try to save a patient’s natural teeth, but tooth extraction may be necessary if this is not possible. We will first assess the situation thoroughly to determine if we can repair a broken or damaged tooth. If the damage is too severe and past the point of repair, we will discuss dental extraction. 

You’ll find it comforting to know extractions are one of the most common dental procedures we perform here at our dental clinic, and while this treatment is not what most patients want to hear about, it can help eliminate pain and restore your smile. Dental extractions can eliminate bacteria and improve oral health, and a tooth will be removed entirely from its socket during this procedure. 

Our dentist has years of experience, and extractions will be performed safely. Tooth extraction is a fairly standard dental procedure, and your comfort and safety will always be prioritized. Once we determine this is the best way to proceed, we will help you prepare and ensure you have all the information you need. We will answer all of your questions, address your concerns, and provide details regarding what you can expect before, during and after your procedure.
