Our team uses advanced techniques and sedation to ensure your experience is calm, safe, and free of stress.

01.
Process of Tooth Extraction
- We provide the choice of either anesthetic or sedation based on your preference. During your consultation, we can discuss the various sedation options that are available.
- Once you feel comfortable, we will proceed with the process of loosening and extracting the tooth.
- If needed, we may also use sutures to close the gums.
- To manage any bleeding, we will ask you to bite down on gauze.
- If you have been sedated, we will take you to a recovery room until you are fully awake. In case general sedation was administered, it is crucial that you have a friend or relative accompany you home.
- Lastly, we will provide you with important aftercare instructions that must be followed.
