We understand no one wants to lose a tooth, however, sometimes a tooth extraction offers the best option for a patient’s health and comfort. We offer safe and affordable extractions for patients whose teeth aren’t good candidates for other types of procedures due to extensive damage or other issues. We try our best to save every tooth, but this isn’t always possible. If you need a surgical tooth extraction in the Huntington Beach CA area, contact us at Silk Dental Care. We offer low-cost, gentle extractions and compassionate staff that will monitor your comfort every step of the way.
A tooth extraction is generally the last resort for most dental issues, however, there are some instances where it really is the best procedure. Some reasons for tooth extractions include:
- Extensive damage to the tooth from cavities or trauma
- Impacted teeth
- Deep infections
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Crowded teeth that aren’t easily corrected by orthodontics
Our first priority with any procedure is your health. We will take every step possible to save your tooth, and only suggest a tooth extraction if it’s the best option to relieve your pain and bring you optimal dental health. During the procedure, your comfort is our top concern. You’ll be given a local anesthetic to numb the area, keeping you pain-free and comfortable. Dr. Nguyen will quickly and gently remove the tooth, and have you bite down on a piece of gauze to stop the bleeding. You’ll be monitored for your comfort from the moment you walk in the door, all the way through aftercare. We always recommend using an ice pack on your cheek to keep the swelling down, as well as resting for the next 24 hours. Recovery generally only takes a few days.
We understand that having a surgical tooth extraction isn’t most people’s first choice when it comes to dental care, but when it’s the best option, we aim to provide the most affordable, professional care possible. We’re currently seeing patients in Huntington Beach CA and surrounding Orange County.
