Dental Extractions

Gentle, Safe Tooth Extractions in Columbia, SC

While we continuously work to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, sometimes a tooth extraction is necessary for long-term oral health. Cottingham Family Dentistry provides safe, gentle dental extractions in Columbia, SC, for patients dealing with severe decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding.

Common reasons for extractions include:

• fractured teeth
• severe gum disease
• advanced tooth decay

• problematic baby teeth
• infected or abscessed teeth


• overcrowding before orthodontics

Our team uses modern techniques and local anesthesia to ensure a smooth, comfortable procedure. After your extraction, we provide detailed recovery instructions and discuss tooth replacement options such as dental implants, partial dentures, or bridges to maintain your bite and prevent shifting.

We aim to make the process stress-free, ensuring your comfort and long-term oral health every step of the way.
