Everything You Need to Know
Our Devoted team answers the most common questions about gentle tooth extraction in Highland, MI.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely decayed or infected beyond saving, when wisdom teeth are impacted, when overcrowding is affecting alignment, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment. Our Highland team explores every option to preserve your natural tooth before recommending extraction.
Simple and Surgical Extractions in Highland
A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is visible above the gumline. A surgical extraction is needed for impacted teeth or teeth broken at the gumline. Devoted Dental Highland performs both types in a comfortable, clinical setting with full local anesthesia.
