Expert Tooth Extraction in Muskogee, OK
At Muskogee Dental and Implants, a tooth extraction is performed when keeping a tooth is no longer the best option for your oral health. While we prioritize preserving natural teeth, an extraction may sometimes be necessary to prevent further issues.
Our experienced dentist uses gentle, precise techniques to minimize discomfort and support fast healing. To ensure a stress-free experience, we offer both nitrous sedation (laughing gas) and oral sedation, helping you stay relaxed throughout the procedure. Following our post-care instructions will promote a smooth, comfortable recovery.
