Tooth Extractions
We do our best to preserve your natural teeth as long as possible, but when a tooth is beyond repair or threatening to disrupt your overall dental health, an extraction may be the best step forward. We offer different sedation options to make the experience as comfortable as possible and set you up with all the information and necessary medications you need for a speedy recovery.
Our Primary Focus is Your Oral Health
We do everything we can to protect your dental health, but sometimes teeth need to be removed to keep your mouth healthy and disease-free. In some cases, teeth can decay past the point of no return, and a simple extraction can help prevent the spread of infection. Other times, impacted teeth can threaten your bite’s alignment and function, in which case a surgical extraction can restore your smile.
The difference between these two treatments is that simple extractions are for teeth that rest above the gumline, while surgical extractions are for teeth that haven’t erupted from the gums yet. At Dental Express, we offer both simple and surgical extractions to protect your oral health.
We know how stressful these treatments can be, and we’re committed to providing you top-notch care from consultation to recovery. To keep you calm and relaxed during treatment, we offer several sedation options to choose from. Before your extraction, you can decide which sedative will make you the most comfortable. If you’d like more information or to set up an exam, please give us a call at one of our San Diego locations. We’re always here to service your smile.
Best Candidates
Tooth extractions are appropriate in various situations and for patients of all ages. Pulling kids teeth is one of the multiple tooth extractions process.
Usually, broken or damaged teeth are fixed using a filling, crown, or other restoration.
But if one of your teeth is too decayed to support any of these options, a simple tooth extraction after root canal is the best way to prevent the infection from spreading to your surrounding teeth.
If teeth grow improperly (impacted teeth), your dentist may recommend a surgical extraction to preserve your alignment.
Wisdom teeth often become impacted and require extraction to keep you chewing and smiling comfortably.
Also, if you opt for SmileCorrect Aligners or another orthodontic treatment, you may need a simple extraction to give your other teeth room to shift back to their proper places.
Simple & Surgical Extraction
There’s a reason “pulling teeth” is an expression. Often, getting a tooth pulled can be a painful and complicated process. At Dental Express, we strive to correct the record by making teeth extraction as smooth and straightforward as possible.
Whatever your reason for needing an extraction, we pride ourselves on providing the best family-friendly dental care in San Diego. When you trust us with your smile, we make it our mission to improve your oral health and keep you smiling for years to come.
