Extractions
What We Do
To keep your smile healthy and pain-free, sometimes removing a tooth is the best option. At Southern Family Dentistry, we perform gentle dental extractions to protect your overall oral health. Whether it’s a severely decayed tooth, a damaged tooth beyond repair, or a problematic wisdom tooth, our team provides expert care in a calm, comfortable environment.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Our dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth and take digital X-rays to evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures. After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, we carefully loosen and remove the tooth while ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to support quick healing and discuss tooth replacement options if needed.
