Tooth Extraction Claremont CA | Wisdom Teeth Removal Pomona

Tooth ExtractionsAn Overview

Tooth extraction may be a necessary procedure for several different reasons. Tooth extractions are only recommended when necessary for restoring oral health.

A tooth extraction will be necessary in cases where trauma or decay has damaged the tooth beyond repair. If the root has died, or the tooth cannot be stabilized with restorative dentistry a tooth extraction can help to prevent secondary dental health concerns from developing.

Visiting the dentist at least two times every year can help prevent the need for tooth extraction due to decay or infection. Routine dental health exams allow your dentist to diagnosis developing dental concerns early on allowing for conservative treatment.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal is a common procedure for young adults in their late teens to early twenties as this is when the wisdom teeth typically begin to emerge. Overcrowded or impacted teeth may also need to be extracted.

As the last molars begin to emerge from the gum line, wisdom teeth can force the bite to shift causing teeth to become crooked and uncomfortable.

Wisdom tooth removal is a routine dental procedure that can be completed from the comfort of our Claremont, CA dental office. Typically patients require only a local anesthetic but sedation dentistry may be used for optimal comfort.

Tooth Extractions What to Expect

Tooth extraction is a surgical procedure that requires the removal of the entire tooth system. Patients can choose a local anesthetic or may discuss their sedation options with their dentist before treatment. A certified anesthesiologist will closely monitor all patients while they are under IV sedation.

Your dentist will gently remove the tooth from the socket by the roots. The entire tooth is removed, and the empty socket is cleaned and sutured shut to reduce the risk of infection.

Patients will be provided with extensive post-care instructions for a quick and comfortable recovery. Most patients return to their routine within in a day or two. Our dental care team will offer personalized advice on how to best care for your extracted tooth.

Patients who choose to replace their missing teeth will schedule a return visit for the placement of their dental implant(s). Dental implants replace the missing root structure and provide stable, lasting support for a prosthetic tooth.
