Gentle Dental Extractions for Better Oral Health
When a tooth cannot be repaired, a gentle dental extraction can relieve pain, eliminate infection, and protect your long term oral health. Our team is committed to making your treatment as comfortable and stress free as possible.
What Is a Dental Extraction?
A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed, infected, fractured, or cannot be restored through other dental treatments. Removing the affected tooth helps eliminate pain, prevent the spread of infection, and protect your surrounding teeth and gums.
At Broadway Dental Arts, every effort is made to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. If an extraction is the healthiest option, Dr. Metehan Sen uses modern techniques, digital X rays, and advanced technology to perform the procedure with precision while prioritizing your comfort throughout every step.
Following your extraction, we will discuss the most appropriate tooth replacement options, including dental implants, bridges, or dentures, to restore your smile, maintain proper bite alignment, and support your long term oral health.
