Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, extraction is sometimes the most compassionate option. Dr. Churchill performs gentle tooth extractions using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout. He will always discuss your options thoroughly before proceeding and will help you plan for replacement if needed.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are a common source of pain and infection. Dr. Churchill handles wisdom tooth extractions at EOM Dental Center, addressing the issue before it has a chance to affect your surrounding teeth or jaw health.

Can a broken tooth be saved?
It depends on the extent of the damage. In many cases, a broken tooth can be restored with a crown or bonding. Dr. Churchill will evaluate the tooth and give you a clear picture of your options.
Is it safe to pull a tooth that is really painful?
Extraction is always a last resort at EOM Dental Center. Dr. Churchill will first explore whether the tooth can be saved with root canal therapy or another restorative option. If extraction is the right call, he will make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
