Looking for a specialist...

I need some help here. Does anyone know of a dentist in NYC or V who performs extractions using a screw method? I realize how bizarre that sounds—honestly—but back when we were in Germany, a dentist handled a leftover root for a kid by actually threading a tiny screw into the root itself to pull it out... no major surgery required. It was surprisingly painless, too. Now, I’m facing the same issue; there’s a root that needs to come out, but the tooth is so destroyed that the dentist literally has nothing left to grab onto to pull it. My doctor doesn't want to start cutting into my gums and performing whatever surgical nonsense he thinks is necessary... I just want that screw method again. Does anyone actually know who does this?!
