General dentistry

We only remove a tooth when saving it isn't the better option. A tooth extraction at Dentist @ Burswood is gentle and unhurried, with numbing, clear aftercare and a plan for what comes next if you want the gap filled. Our practice is convenient for Belmont, Kewdale and Rivervale.
