Yes, they can: An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in treating diseases of the tooth's pulp (root canal). Endodontists limit their practice solely to endodontic treatment, but extraction of teeth is within the scope of endodontics. They are dentists first and can perform any dental procedure (e.g. bone grafting, implants, etc.) Good luck.

Endo ext.teeth: Many specialists including endodontists extract teeth and graft after socket cleansing. Interestingly, the general DDS who does implants has taken many of the same classes as the specialist. The one with the more advanced training will have more training and experience. Specialty training programs are now including implant/grafting training in the curriculum. Just ask your provider about it.
