Tooth Extractions in Burlingame, CA
Remove infected, decayed, or crowded teeth.
You might think a dental extraction (also known as pulling a tooth) goes against a dentist’s goal of saving teeth. And it’s true—our practice is always committed to doing everything possible to maintain your natural teeth. However, in certain circumstances, removing a tooth is sometimes necessary to protect your overall oral health.
Depending on several factors, we may decide that it’s in your best interest to remove a tooth entirely. These factors include your treatment plan, the condition of the affected tooth, and the position of surrounding teeth. Extractions may also be needed in preparation for dentures, dental implants, or orthodontic treatment. In cases where tooth decay or damage has progressed beyond repair, extraction can help restore the health and function of your smile.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
In addition to standard tooth extractions, Burlingame Dental Studio also provides removal of non-impacted wisdom teeth right here in our office.

This collaborative approach ensures every patient receives the safest and most effective treatment for their individual needs.
