Tooth Extraction With The Piezosonic Technique
Gentle Tooth Extraction in Mississauga
Sometimes a tooth needs extraction. At St. Lawrence Dentistry in Mississauga, we use the piezosonic extraction technique, a gentle surgical approach that minimizes trauma and promotes faster healing. Piezosonic extraction is more comfortable and less damaging than traditional extraction methods.
What is Piezosonic Extraction
Piezosonic technology uses ultrasonic vibration to precisely separate tooth from bone without the crushing force of traditional extraction tools. The result is a cleaner extraction with less tissue damage.

Preserves More Bone
Piezosonic extraction removes the tooth while preserving surrounding bone. This is important if you plan a future implant.
