Whenever possible, Dr. Johnson’s goal is to save your natural tooth through treatments like root canal therapy. However, if a tooth is severely damaged, infected beyond repair, or cannot be restored, a tooth extraction may be the healthiest solution.

During your visit, we’ll perform a thorough examination, explain all available treatment options, and recommend the solution that’s best for your long-term oral health.
