Tooth Extractions in Vienna, VA
A tooth extraction is the careful removal of a tooth that is damaged, severely decayed, infected, or causing crowding. Your dentist will gently loosen the tooth and remove it while protecting the surrounding tissue. In some cases, an extraction is the best way to relieve pain, prevent the spread of infection, or create space for other dental treatments, such as orthodontics.
After the procedure, your dental team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and help you recover comfortably. We understand that extractions can feel overwhelming, and we are here to answer your questions.
