Our oral surgeries in Fontana, CA include:
Tooth Extraction
When a patient is facing extreme tooth decay or damage, a dental extraction may prove to be the best treatment option. At Smile Studio Fontana, we top dental extraction services for patients in Fontana, CA, along with advanced tooth replacement options for restoring your smile afterward.
When a tooth is severely damaged after prolonged decay or an injury, a dental extraction may be necessary to avoid overcrowding or health risks to your gums and other teeth. Tooth extractions can be a simple procedure or more involved depending on your tooth’s condition. The procedure involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone through a quick surgery.
For some patients, a dental extraction may be performed to prepare for orthodontic treatment or as part of a tooth replacement plan.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom tooth removal is necessary when the wisdom teeth cause tooth overcrowding or other dental issues. During wisdom tooth removal, our dentists will remove the tooth to prevent any further damage to neighboring teeth or gum tissue.
The wisdom tooth removal at Smile Studio Fontana often follows a procedure similar to a regular tooth extraction. However, it is more common for patients to have general anesthesia or sedation during wisdom tooth removal as the tooth is located further back in the mouth, making it harder to access. Depending on the patient's needs, they may have all of their wisdom teeth removed in a single visit to our Fontana office, or may split the removal procedure into two or more visits.
Recovery from a wisdom tooth procedure will vary, but most patients take about 2-3 days off from work or school. Swelling and discomfort with minor bleeding are normal during this time.
We prioritize patient safety and comfort with tooth extraction and wisdom tooth removal procedures. Prior to the procedure, we will apply a local anesthetic to ensure the patient doesn't feel any pain. Depending on the tooth’s condition, our dentists may use forceps or other special instruments to remove it from its socket. A typical extraction can be over in a matter of minutes, and the recovery process rarely lasts more than a few days due to the gum’s ability to heal rapidly.
Root Canal Therapy
Tooth decay, injury, infection, and other factors can all contribute to the inner part of a tooth becoming compromised. When this happens, a patient will need timely treatment to prevent further developments; that's when root canal treatment can help restore your smile and save a tooth that has been put at risk.
A root canal is a routine dental procedure used to treat infection or decay of the root of a tooth. During this treatment, your Fontana dentist will remove the infected root material, then fill and seal the root canal with an inert material. This process prevents further damage to the root while restoring structural integrity to your tooth.
At Smile Studio Fontana, our team offers root canal therapy to preserve your oral health and alleviate the painful symptoms associated with infection and decay. We use the latest treatment techniques and technologies to ensure a comfortable root canal experience and lasting results. The root canal procedure can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the issue. At your initial consultation, our team will provide all the guidance you need regarding the root canal process and preparation.
