Tooth Extractions in Decatur, GA
Types of Tooth Extractions We Offer
Impacted Wisdom Teeth Extraction
When wisdom teeth are trapped beneath the gums or only partially emerged, they require special attention. We use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to carefully remove impacted wisdom teeth while protecting surrounding tissues and ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Our team specializes in removing third molars (wisdom teeth) that can cause crowding, pain, or infection. Whether your wisdom teeth are partially or fully erupted, we ensure safe removal to prevent future complications.
Simple Extractions
For visible teeth that can be removed in one piece, we perform straightforward extractions under local anesthesia. This common procedure is used for damaged, decayed, or loose teeth that are fully emerged from the gumline.
