Tooth Extraction in Groton, MA – A Biologic, Patient-First Approach
When a tooth can’t be saved, removal shouldn’t feel frightening. At Groton Wellness, our biologic dentists combine advanced technology with whole-body principles to make tooth extraction gentle, safe, and surprisingly comfortable. From simple single-root extractions to complex wisdom teeth, we protect surrounding bone and tissues so you heal faster—and feel better—naturally.
Why Choose Groton Wellness for Your Extraction?
- Biologic philosophy: We avoid unnecessary metals and use ozone to disinfect the socket, lowering infection risk.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): Your own growth factors are placed into the site to speed healing and reduce dry socket.
- Comfort options: Local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation—you choose.
- On-site spa: Post-procedure massage.
- Integrated team: Dental, medical, and functional practitioners collaborate on complex cases.
