Tooth Extractions
Sometimes when teeth cannot be saved through any other restorative means, it may be time for a tooth extraction in Newport Beach, California. Our periodontist will extract the tooth to prevent further tooth decay while having a treatment plan in place on how to replace it. Call Smrecek Dentistry at 949-759-8606 to schedule your visit and see if you need a tooth extraction from Dr. Navid Nobaharestan.
Tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Although preserving natural teeth is always the preferred approach, sometimes extraction becomes necessary to maintain your oral health and comfort. At our dental office, we approach tooth extractions with precision and care, ensuring the procedure is as smooth and pain-free as possible. Post-extraction, we offer a variety of tooth replacement options to restore your smile’s health, appearance and function.
Tooth extractions are typically required under the following conditions:
- Severe Infection: If an infection has compromised a significant portion of the tooth and its supporting bone, extraction may be the best option to prevent the spread of the infection.
- Extensive Decay: When decay has extensively damaged a tooth to the point where restoration is not viable, extraction is often necessary to preserve the health of the surrounding teeth.
- Overcrowding: Sometimes, there are too many teeth to fit properly in the mouth, necessitating the removal of one or more teeth to ensure proper alignment.
Our skilled dental dentist and team will ensure your comfort during the tooth extraction process. We utilize the latest techniques and sedation options to minimize discomfort and anxiety. After the extraction, we provide comprehensive post-treatment instructions to promote proper healing and avoid complications.
We understand that losing a tooth can be concerning, but rest assured, we offer excellent tooth replacement solutions, including dental implants, bridges and dentures, to help you regain a complete and beautiful smile. Each option is tailored to fit your specific needs and preferences, ensuring optimal results.
