    As a general dentist I offer a wide variety of routine services. In addition I am skilled in difficult root canals, implant placement and restoration, difficult extractions and conscious sedation. We pride ourselves in having to refer very few cases to specialists. Originally from Lexington MA I attended Boston College for my undergraduate studies before attending Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. I graduated Tufts in 1982 and then joined this practice in Watertown.

What is a tooth extraction?

A tooth extraction removes a tooth that is badly damaged, infected, crowded or loose. A simple extraction removes a visible tooth with instruments. A surgical extraction may involve a small incision or removing bone to reach a broken or impacted tooth.

Tooth extraction: specialist or general dentist?

General dentists do most simple extractions and many surgical ones. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons handle complex cases, such as deeply impacted teeth, teeth close to nerves, or patients who need IV sedation or general anesthesia.
