Tooth Extraction
In cases of extreme damage or decay, tooth extraction may prove the best option for our patients. Likewise, wisdom teeth removal is often the only solution for patients without enough room for their wisdom teeth. In either case, at Smile Studio Fontana, we provide expert extraction services for patients in Fontana, as well as tooth replacement options for restoring your smile afterward.
An Overview Of Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone through a quick surgery. This tooth may have been damaged by tooth decay or trauma, or it may be overcrowding other teeth in the mouth. In some cases, it is also done to prepare for orthodontic treatment or as part of a tooth replacement plan.

What About Wisdom Teeth Removal?
What Is a Tooth Extraction Procedure Like?
At our Fontana dental practice, we prioritize patient safety and comfort when it comes to tooth extraction and wisdom tooth removal procedures. Prior, we will apply a local anesthetic to make sure you do not 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.

During, our oral surgeon will ensure that no damage is done to neighboring teeth or gum tissue in order to help prevent any further oral health issues. Removing a tooth can protect the teeth around it and improve your jaw health in some situations. In addition, by getting wisdom tooth removal done, you can avoid tooth overcrowding and other issues that can arise if these teeth come in incorrectly.
Signs You Need a Tooth Removed
If you have tooth pain, tooth decay, or damage to a tooth due to trauma or gum disease, then you may need a tooth extraction. In addition, if your teeth have become overcrowded and are overlapping each other, then extractions may be necessary in order to make room for orthodontic treatment. When you come in for an exam, our oral surgeon can work with you to diagnose the issue and prescribe a path forward that focuses on maintaining your overall health.
Can I Replace an Extracted Tooth?
Yes, tooth extractions can be followed by tooth replacement options such as dental implants or a bridge. During your consultation with our dentists in Fontana, we can discuss the different tooth replacement options available to you and help you make an informed decision about which option is best for your situation. Even before your tooth is removed, we can help you establish a treatment plan that will follow your procedure and restore any missing teeth.
