Safe and Gentle Tooth Extraction Procedure
At Smiles for life our highly trained doctors will thoroughly assess your smile using an advanced 3-D CT scanner, which allows your dentist to plan your extraction treatment precisely.
When you arrive for your appointment, your dentist will administer local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. Once you are completely comfortable, your doctor can gently loosen the tooth and remove it using forceps. In cases of impacted wisdom tooth or other complex issues, your dentist may need to perform a surgical extraction, which involves making small incisions in the gum line to remove the tooth easily.
We offer oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide or laughing gas sedation to help patients relax during the tooth extraction procedure. With a combination of our doctors’ skill and expertise, effective anesthesia, and sedation dentistry, patients no longer need to fear tooth extraction.
Why Would I Need to Extract My Tooth?
We always strive to save teeth but there are several reasons why a tooth would need to be extracted including infections, rapid decay, and overcrowding of wisdom teeth. Always check with our doctors to see what treatment you are eligible for.

Just had my first visit with Dr. Whiting at Smiles for Life in Bridgewater. My welcome to the office was warm and inviting. The dental assistant was professional, proficient, and very gentle. Dr.Whiting is very good at explaining problems he saw with my teeth and outline options for addressing those problems.
