Tooth Extractions
Careful, comfortable removals — including wisdom teeth.
An extraction is the careful removal of a tooth that is too damaged, decayed, or crowded to keep. This includes wisdom teeth that cause problems. When a tooth truly cannot be saved, a comfortable removal protects the rest of your mouth.
Dr. Pandya numbs the area thoroughly and removes the tooth gently, keeping you comfortable throughout. He then explains aftercare and, when appropriate, discusses replacement options such as a bridge or denture. Nothing is rushed.
Removing a problem tooth relieves pain, stops infection from spreading, and protects neighboring teeth. For crowded or impacted wisdom teeth, extraction can prevent future damage. It is a step toward a healthier, more comfortable mouth.
