Tooth Extraction
At London Heritage Dental, we understand that removing a tooth is never your first choice — but sometimes, it’s the best step for your overall oral health. Severe decay, damage, or infection can cause significant discomfort and lead to more serious complications if left untreated. A tooth extraction can eliminate harmful bacteria, relieve pain, and help restore balance to your smile.
We specialize in gentle, precise extractions, with a focus on preserving the surrounding bone and tissue. Whether you need a single tooth removed or multiple extractions, our experienced team will ensure you receive the highest level of care. For patients feeling anxious about the procedure, we also offer comfortable sedation options to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
Have questions about extractions or replacing missing teeth with implants or bridges? We’re here to help. At London Heritage Dental, your comfort and long-term dental health are our top priorities. Let us help you move forward with confidence, book your consultation today.
