Safe and Comfortable Tooth Extractions at Avalon Dentistry
Importance of Tooth Extractions
In spite of our best efforts to save teeth, extractions are still sometimes needed. At Avalon Dentistry, we understand that tooth extractions can be a daunting prospect. Our goal is to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible while ensuring your overall oral health.
Whether it is a tooth that can’t be restored or several impacted wisdom teeth, we will always be sure to offer a positive experience to our patients.
Types of Extractions We Offer
- Simple Extractions: Performed on visible teeth that require removal due to decay, infection, or orthodontic reasons.
- Surgical Extractions: Necessary for teeth that are not easily accessible, such as impacted wisdom teeth.
The Extraction Procedure

Extraction
