Extractions in Culver City
When problematic teeth are causing you pain and discomfort, you have options. While preserving your natural teeth is always the goal, sometimes extractions are the best way to keep your smile healthy.
Why might I need an extraction?
Problematic teeth negatively impact your overall oral health. Our team prioritizes preserving your natural teeth, but sometimes an extraction is the best way to save your smile. There are various reasons for needing a tooth extracted. Wisdom teeth often cause discomfort that can be relieved through extraction, and some advanced restorative procedures, like dental implants, require the removal of unhealthy teeth. Using gentle techniques and local anesthesia, tooth extractions can be quick and painless.
Get To The Root Of The Problem
With digital x-rays, we get high-resolution images of your teeth that allow us to make more accurate diagnoses. When you’re in pain or experiencing an emergency, we can see why the tooth is reacting and if an extraction is needed.
