Tooth Extractions in Fort Valley

A dental extraction is a common procedure performed at Whitaker Family Dentistry. The process involves lifting and removing the affected tooth from the socket. The entire tooth structure is removed, both the root and the crown. A fully erupted tooth is usually removed with a simple extraction. Special dental tools are used to pull or lift the tooth out of the socket. Surgical removal is needed for a tooth that has not yet erupted. This type of extraction is performed under intravenous anesthesia. For patients with missing teeth, we offer tooth replacement solutions such as a dental bridge or implants.
