Tooth Extraction
When a tooth can't be saved, a safe, comfortable extraction relieves pain and clears the way for whatever comes next — often the same day you call.
What Is Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction removes a tooth that's too damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved by a filling, crown, or root canal. It's a routine, well-understood procedure performed under local anesthesia, and is often the fastest way to relieve significant pain from a failing tooth.

What to Expect
