Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone and is recommended when a tooth cannot be safely restored or when keeping it may affect the health of surrounding teeth and gums.

At Holmes Dental, we use advanced technology like the Fotona LightWalker® laser to make the procedure more comfortable and support faster healing. Our experienced team carefully evaluates each case and ensures a smooth, supportive experience from consultation through recovery, always prioritizing your comfort and long-term oral health.
