Tooth Extractions


The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health. To avoid these complications, in most cases, Dr. Hendrickson or Dr. Le will discuss alternatives to extractions as well replacement of the extracted tooth.

At the time of extraction the doctor will need to sedate your tooth, jawbone and gums that surround the area with a local anesthetic. During the extraction process you will feel a small amount of pressure. This is normal. Tooth extraction is usually a very quick, pain free procedure.
