Tooth Extraction Montclair, CA

When tooth pain strikes, relief becomes a priority. While our dedicated dental team aims to preserve your teeth for a lifetime, there are situations where one or more extractions become the best solution to alleviate dental pain.

Why Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Tooth extractions involve the removal of unhealthy teeth or those unsupported by weakened jawbones due to severe periodontal (gum) disease. Besides pain relief, extractions may be recommended for other reasons such as the elimination of tooth infections, prevention of infection spread, preparing for certain cosmetic procedures, and necessity for orthodontic treatment.

Determining the Need for Dental Extractions

To determine if tooth extraction is necessary, you'll begin with a consultation with Dr. Omid Barkhordar. During this evaluation, Dr. Omid will perform an oral examination and employ digital x-rays to assess your dental health, identifying infections, decay, or bone loss. Based on this assessment, a comprehensive treatment plan will be developed, which may include extractions and other treatments to manage infection or periodontal disease. Your plan could also incorporate restorative options such as bridges, full or partial dentures, or dental implants.

On the other hand, surgical extraction is a more complex procedure performed when a tooth is below the gum line. It may require the use of general anesthesia to induce unconsciousness, and stitches are often used to close the incision.

Ensuring a Comfortable Experience

We understand that the thought of extractions can be anxiety-inducing. Our primary goal is to alleviate anxiety and provide a pain-free experience. We continuously monitor your comfort and safety throughout the procedure and offer sedation options for relaxation. Dr. Omid ensures complete numbness before proceeding. If the procedure is lengthy, regular check-ins ensure ongoing comfort.

Common Types of Extractions and Oral Surgery Procedures

Our dental team is equipped to perform various extractions and oral surgery procedures tailored to your unique needs, including:

Basic Teeth Extractions

Single extractions or full mouth extractions if necessary. Simple extraction with numbing and forceps. Also, suturing the extraction site with self-dissolving sutures.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Often required due to lack of space, poor accessibility for oral hygiene, pain from impacted teeth, or horizontal growth. Typically, all wisdom teeth are extracted in one visit for convenience.

Impacted Teeth Extractions

Impacted teeth remain lodged in the jawbone. May require removal due to potential damage to surrounding roots or causing pain, swelling, and eating difficulties.

Surgical Extractions

Necessary for complex cases involving fracture, deep decay, root canal issues, or infection. Surgical instruments used to open gum tissue and remove the tooth.

How Much Do Tooth Extraction Cost?

The cost of a tooth extraction varies based on the type of extraction and whether sedation is required. Surgical extractions typically cost more than simple extractions.

After Care for Tooth Extraction Care

After extraction, we seal the area with self-dissolving sutures and apply gauze to control and prevent bleeding. You'll receive detailed post-op instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery and reduce the risk of dry socket.

Medications for Post-Extraction

Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pain relievers and ice packs can help with discomfort and swelling. Dr. Omid may prescribe antibiotics if necessary; it's crucial to complete the prescribed cycle to prevent infection recurrence.
