Gentle, professional tooth extractions offered
Our goal is to help you maintain healthy teeth with regular dental cleanings and exams. We work with our patients to provide advice and techniques for preserving their teeth for a lifetime. However, there are situations where a dental extraction may be necessary. Whether it's due to trauma, gum disease, deep decay, bone loss, or other reasons, we will assess the situation and let you know if the tooth can be saved or if extraction is the best option.
If extraction is necessary, our caring dentist and supportive team will guide you through the process and discuss options for replacing the tooth. While losing a tooth is never ideal, our main focus is on your overall health and well-being, and sometimes removing a problematic tooth is the best course of action.
Simple vs surgical tooth extraction: what's the difference?
Simple Extractions
Surgical Extractions
When it comes to surgical extractions, the process involves the removal of teeth that have not fully emerged or have not emerged at all. In order to access the tooth, an incision will need to be made. Our dentist's top priority is ensuring your comfort, so the procedure will only begin once your jaw is completely numb.
After the incision is made, the tooth will be gently loosened and removed. Stitches may be required for proper healing following surgical extractions. Dr. Gomez will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your specific surgical site and will help manage any pain during the healing process, although tooth extraction is typically not very painful.
By diligently following the post-surgical instructions provided, you can anticipate a speedy recovery.
