How Tooth
Extractions Work
Tooth extractions are relatively simple procedures. First, we’ll administer a local anesthetic to the area to make sure that it’s completely numb and you can’t feel anything during the treatment. We’ll then use an elevator to gently grip and break the tooth free of its socket, including the attachments of the tissues that are supporting the tooth. Using a pair of forceps, we’ll lift the tooth out of your mouth. Teeth with multiple, or long, curved roots will need to be sectinoed and removed in multiple pieces.
