While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, there are times when a tooth extraction becomes necessary for your overall health and comfort. Dr. Edgar Luna provides gentle and skilled tooth extractions to remove damaged, decayed or problematic teeth with care and precision. We focus on making the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Tooth extractions may be recommended when a tooth is beyond repair due to decay, infection or trauma. Extractions may also be necessary in cases of crowding, preparation for orthodontic treatment or removal of impacted teeth.
Common reasons for extractions include:
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability
- Cracked or broken teeth that cannot be restored
- Overcrowding or preparation for orthodontic treatment
- Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth
Our dentist will carefully evaluate your oral health and review all available options before recommending an extraction. If removal is needed, we will help you plan for a smooth recovery and discuss possible tooth replacement options when appropriate.
Gentle Extractions
At Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, patient comfort is always a top priority. We use modern techniques and local anesthesia to ensure your extraction is performed with minimal discomfort. For patients who feel nervous, we also offer sedation options to help create a calm and relaxed experience.
After the tooth is removed, our team will provide clear aftercare instructions to help promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. Most patients recover quickly and can return to their normal routine within a few days.
We are here to support you through every step of the process and will work with you to ensure your treatment is personalized, efficient and as comfortable as possible.
