When Is Tooth Removal the Right Choice?
Tooth extraction might sound intimidating, but with the right dentist, it can be straightforward and stress-free. Whether it’s due to severe decay, damage, or part of a planned dental treatment, removing a tooth should always be done with precision and care.
At Dental Design of Brentwood, we help patients in Brentwood and West Los Angeles with gentle, modern extractions. Using advanced technology, sedation options, and personalized aftercare, our goal is to make your visit as calm and comfortable as possible.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Tooth removal is recommended when saving the tooth isn’t possible or practical. Common reasons include:
- Severe decay or infection that can’t be restored
- Cracked or fractured teeth below the gumline
- Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
- Overcrowding, often before orthodontics
- Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability
If you’re not sure whether you need an extraction, our team will perform a thorough evaluation and discuss all your options with you.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
We believe that knowing what to expect helps reduce anxiety. Here’s how a typical tooth extraction visit at our Brentwood office works:
- Step 1: Consultation and Imaging – We begin with a digital exam and X-rays to understand the problem and confirm if extraction is the best option.
- Step 2: Local Anesthetic and Sedation (If Needed) – We completely numb the area using modern anesthetic techniques. For anxious patients, we also offer nitrous oxide and IV sedation to help you relax.
- Step 3: Gentle Extraction – Our experienced dentists use advanced tools and techniques to remove the tooth carefully and comfortably. We’re skilled in both simple and surgical extractions.
- Step 4: Recovery Instructions and Follow-Up – You’ll get easy-to-follow aftercare instructions, a take-home kit, and access to our team for any questions. We also offer socket preservation if you’re planning for future implants.
