Tooth Removal: Post -op discomfort depends on the complexity of the cause. If the tooth crown is badly damaged but you still have good amount of bone and good quality root remaining, there is hope to still save a tooth than replacing it with an implant. Anyway, it is more biocompatible.

Painless extraction: Painless dental extraction may sound like an oxymoron, but new techniques and advanced anesthesia are making it a reality for many patients. It helps you to preserve the jaw bone, maintain your natural smile, continue eating the foods you love and improve your general health. Take care
