Dedicated To Your Safety
It’s not uncommon for patients to be nervous about having an extraction, but the procedure is very safe, and our staff takes every measure to make sure you’re comfortable. There are several reasons why a person might need a surgical tooth extraction; for some, they haven’t been able to afford regular dental care in the past and may have a tooth that’s too badly decayed to repair. There may be extensive trauma to the tooth, periodontal disease, or deep infection. Other patients may benefit from a tooth extraction due to an overcrowded mouth.
Many patients are concerned about the potential pain of surgical tooth extraction; our caring staff will make sure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Nguyen will give you an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the area, then quickly and gently remove the tooth. He’ll have you bite down on some gauze to stop the bleeding and will suggest you use an ice pack to keep the swelling down. You should rest for the next 24 hours, but typically recovery is only a few days. Tooth extraction is an outpatient procedure and is very safe.
Regardless of why you need a tooth extraction, we’ll provide you with the highest standard of care. We want all our patients to be able to afford the dentistry they need and offer economical care and a wide range of payment options, including Denti-Cal.
