The Benefits of Tooth Extractions

Protect Your Oral Health

Removing a damaged or infected tooth prevents further complications and protects your overall health.

Extractions create space when needed, helping to avoid bite problems and orthodontic issues.

"Dr Jagow and staff are absolutely wonderful. Everyone I have had the chance to meet has been incredibly friendly and helpful. Anthony from the front desk has gone out of his way multiple times to help accommodate scheduling and help with insurance. The techs and assistants are great! Dr Jagow is friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent dentist. I’ve had cleanings, my first crown, and my first veneers in her office and every time has been a great experience. I love that they can print crowns in house. 100% recommend."

"She is very informative about what she is doing. I have now been to see Dr. Jagow twice in the last 3 weeks. Once for a first time cleaning, and second for a filling to be replaced. She is very informative about what she is doing and makes sure you are comfortable with everything before she does it. There was no discomfort at all with anything she did, including drilling out the old filling without numbing me (at my choice). She is that good! As is her staff, they are all, simply amazing!"
