Tooth Extractions

Tooth Extractions

Sometimes, a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved, and an extraction becomes the best option to protect your oral health. At Dr. Lisa Lu Davis’s office, we perform extractions with precision and a gentle touch, ensuring your comfort every step of the way. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Gentle Tooth Removal When Necessary

While we always strive to preserve natural teeth, there are times when removal is the healthiest choice—such as with severe decay, advanced gum disease, or impacted wisdom teeth. Dr. Davis uses modern techniques and numbing options to minimize discomfort and help you heal quickly, while also planning for replacement solutions if needed to restore your smile.
