West Covina Tooth Extractions - Wisdom Teeth Removal

Do I Need An Extraction?

While our dental team leaves no nook and corner and generally try everything to save your natural teeth, they are left with no other option than extraction when the tooth is in very bad condition or shape. A problematic tooth can put your health at risk and, therefore, it becomes crucial to take a decision that protects from other health complications that may arise out of neglection. Some of the common cases where you need tooth extraction are:

• Infection
• Irrevocable trauma
• Deep decay
• Overcrowding
• Failed root canal therapy
• Misalignment
• Split teeth
• Troubling wisdom teeth

Our tooth extraction dentist in West Covina will not only provide an expert treatment to remove your bad tooth, but will also give you advice on post-treatment. We will also suggest you different tooth replacement options that meet budget and lifestyle.

West Covina Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth refer to our third molars that erupt after the rest of your adult teeth. They usually appear when people reach the age of about 17 to 25 years.   

Because they appear late, there is often not enough space for them to grow properly. This leads to several complications such as:

• Damage to the neighboring teeth
• Gum Tissues Infection
• The wisdom teeth stuck in the gum tissues and bone
• Cyst Formation
• Damaged jawbone
• Periodontal disease
• Disruption to the teeth alignment

Not all wisdom teeth require extractions, but when these complications arise, our dentist recommends removing them to ease your discomfort.

West Covina Tooth Extraction Procedure

We start our tooth extraction procedure by making sure that our patient is comfortable. We administer the appropriate level of anesthetic to suit your health and make the process as painless for you as possible. At Covina Smile, our patients and their comfort are our top most priority and, therefore, our experienced West Covina tooth extraction dentist makes sure that your concerns are heard throughout the procedure.

We will gently extract your tooth, clean, and seal the site with stitches, if required. After the procedure is over, we give you instructions on how to take care of your extraction site. Your dentist will also schedule a follow-up appointment with you to examine your healing progress.

Tooth extraction can be traumatic for some people, but we make sure that you always have the necessary information you need to make a right decision regarding your oral health.

After Tooth Extraction

After wisdom teeth extractions in West Covina or having a tooth removed, healing is generally quick. You may be advised to gently bite down on a small pad of gauze to reduce bleeding immediately after treatment. Once home, do not rinse your mouth for at least 24 hours and refrain from smoking, rigorous activity, spitting forcefully or drinking through a straw. Instead, slowly introduce soft foods and rinse gently with warm salt water after meals and before bed. To reduce swelling, apply a cold press to the outside of the cheek and sleep on multiple pillows that are propped up.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.  How much does a tooth extraction in West Covina cost?

The cost depends on the type of extraction and your specific needs. A simple extraction differs from removing an impacted wisdom tooth. At Covina Smile, we review your treatment plan and any insurance benefits up front, so you know what to expect before we begin. Call (626) 722-5269 for details.

2.  Does a tooth extraction hurt?

No. Before your procedure, we numb the area with the right level of anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Most patients feel only slight pressure, not pain. After your extraction, mild soreness is normal and easily managed with the aftercare tips we provide.

3.  How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?

Most patients feel much better within a few days, with fuller healing over one to two weeks. Following your aftercare instructions, resting, and eating soft foods all speed up recovery. Dr. Khavaran will schedule a follow-up visit to make sure you're healing well.

4.  Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Not always. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, properly positioned, and easy to clean, we may leave them in place. We recommend removal only when they cause pain, crowding, infection, or other complications. Our team will assess your teeth and give you honest guidance.
