What Happens During an Extraction?
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is damaged, decayed, or poses a risk to your oral health. At Modern Dentist King of Prussia, we perform extractions with precision and care, ensuring the procedure is as smooth and comfortable as possible. Depending on the complexity, extractions can be simple or surgical, but rest assured, we make your comfort our priority.
Who Needs a Tooth Extraction?
Extractions are recommended when a tooth cannot be saved by other treatments, such as fillings or crowns. Patients with severe decay, infections, overcrowded teeth, or impacted wisdom teeth may require this procedure. Whether you’re experiencing pain or your dentist has identified a problematic tooth during an exam, our King of Prussia team will guide you through the process.
