Gentle & Professional Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, we provide safe removal with comfort-focused care.
When Removal Is the Healthiest Option
While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, there are times when removal is the healthiest option. Severe decay, advanced infection, trauma, or overcrowding may require extraction to protect surrounding teeth and overall oral health.
At Y2K Dentistry, we perform tooth extractions with precision and compassion, ensuring your comfort every step of the way.
Protecting Your Oral Health
Tooth removal may be recommended when:
- Severe decay cannot be restored
- Advanced gum disease has weakened support
- A tooth is cracked beyond repair
- Infection has spread
- Overcrowding affects alignment
- Impacted teeth cause pain or pressure
We carefully evaluate each case before recommending extraction.
