Tooth Extraction in West Covina, CA
While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, certain conditions make tooth removal the best option. Severe decay, infection, crowding, or trauma can weaken a tooth beyond repair. When this happens, dental extraction prevents further damage and alleviates pain, ensuring long-term oral health.
We offer teeth extractions with patient comfort in mind. Whether you need a simple tooth extraction or a more complex removal, our team ensures a safe procedure and provides post-care instructions for a smooth recovery.
01.
Process
Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the tooth’s condition and determine if extraction is necessary or if an alternative treatment is possible.
Numbing and Preparation: The area around the tooth is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable and pain-free procedure.
Tooth Removal: We carefully loosen and extract the tooth using specialized instruments. A small incision may be made to access and remove the tooth more efficiently.
02.
Next Steps
Post-Extraction Care: The extraction site is cleaned, and stitches may be placed if necessary. Gauze is applied to help control bleeding and promote clot formation.
Recovery and Follow-Up: We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including pain management, dietary recommendations, and oral hygiene tips. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to monitor healing and discuss tooth replacement options if needed.
