Safe and gentle tooth removal when necessary

Tooth Extraction

While our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes extraction is the best option for your overall oral health. At Flores Dental Group, we perform extractions with the utmost care and comfort.

Reasons for Extraction

  • Severe decay that cannot be repaired
  • Advanced periodontal disease
  • Fractured or broken tooth
  • Impacted wisdom teeth
  • Crowding requiring space for orthodontics
  • Infection not responding to treatment

Types of Extractions

Simple Extraction

For teeth that are visible above the gum line. Performed with local anesthesia and is typically quick.

 
 
 
 

Surgical Extraction

For teeth that are broken at the gum line or have not fully erupted, such as impacted wisdom teeth.
