Dr. DiQuattro evaluates every case carefully, recommending extraction only when it benefits long-term oral health.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Extractions are performed with advanced techniques and anesthesia to keep patients completely comfortable. Dr. DiQuattro begins by numbing the area, gently loosening the tooth, and removing it with precision.
