Do I Need Teeth Removal?

Teeth extraction is a time-tested and reliable dental treatment that can correct various oral health issues. We understand that many people feel anxiety when facing teeth removal treatment, so we consider every aspect of your procedure, including comfort and aesthetics. Our team will discuss your personalized treatment plan, including sedation options, to ensure we maximize your comfort and protect your peace of mind. Here are some of the reasons you may need simple and wisdom teeth removal in Covina:

  • Impacted wisdom teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can push your other teeth out of alignment, leading to crowding, higher risk of infection, and even possible fractures. We offer wisdom teeth extraction to protect your oral health and the alignment of your bite.
  • Decaying teeth: Compromised teeth become a source of infection, and extraction may be required to safeguard the neighboring teeth and prevent further damage.
  • Failure of eruption: When teeth remain below the surface, they can decay or become infected, leading to an abscess. Extraction could be required to protect your oral health.
  • Compromised or severely infected teeth: Infected or damaged teeth don't get better on their own. Extraction may be necessary to keep the infection from spreading.
  • Preparing for dental implants: Our team may include extractions as part of your treatment plan to create a healthy environment to successfully place dental implants.

Our West Covina Simple and Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process

We believe that your smile is unique and deserves custom dental care. That's why we take the time to talk with you, ask questions, and listen intently to your answers and concerns to fully address your specific needs. Our prosthodontist begins with a thorough exam of your teeth, jaws, and gums, including CBCT scans, to understand the current state of your dental structures. We share the results of your exam with you and create a treatment plan tailored to you, your lifestyle, and your smile goals.

During your teeth extraction procedure, our friendly team administers your choice of sedation to maximize your comfort. We offer nitrous oxide, or you can request anesthesia, and we'll have a trusted anesthesiologist come into the office for your appointment. The dentist numbs the area and deftly removes the tooth. We check the socket to ensure it's clean and free of any debris before covering the surgery site with gauze. Your body will naturally form a blood clot over the socket to protect itself, but it's important to follow our dentist's instructions for how long to keep the gauze in place and what to do to improve your recovery experience.

For those who select anesthesia for their teeth extraction, you will need a friend or family member to drive you home and check on you until the anesthesia wears off. If you select nitrous oxide, you won't need a driver because the effects of the sedation will wear off within minutes of removing the mask.

How long does it take to heal from teeth extraction?

Everyone is different, and your overall health will determine your healing time, how many teeth are removed, and if you follow the tips for recovering. In general, it can take 7-14 days to recover from teeth extraction.

The number of teeth we remove will be determined during your exam. We do our best to save your natural teeth, but extraction is required to protect your oral health when they are beyond saving.
