Teens and adults might also have to have an oral extraction to address teeth that won't comfortably grow into their smile, including the third molars, which typically come in around 17 – 21 years old. In older children, primary teeth that have not come loose may need to be extracted to generate room for the new teeth.

Before your extraction starts, our caring team will ensure that you're calm. As soon as everything is in place, we will perform the extraction. For a simple tooth extraction, our dental care practitioners will utilize effective approaches and medical-grade instruments to carefully remove the tooth or teeth.

In several cases, the tooth is separated into several pieces, making it less difficult to remove. Once the compromised teeth are extracted, we will stitch the incision.
