Dr. Johnson's Favorite Procedure
If a tooth needs to come out, waiting only makes things worse. We perform same-day extractions in-house — no referrals, no scheduling out two weeks. Dr. Johnson will tell you extractions are actually her favorite procedure. She's good at them, she's fast, and she has a way of making the whole thing feel a lot less scary than you built it up to be.
You Won't Feel Pain. Just Pressure.
We numb the area completely before we start. You'll feel pressure but not pain. Laughing gas and oral sedation are always an option if you need more than just a good numbing. Most patients tell us it was much easier than they expected.
Clear Aftercare. No Midnight Googling.
When it's done, we'll walk you through exactly what to expect during healing — what to eat, what to avoid, and what to watch for. If something feels off, call us. We're here seven days a week.
