Why You May Need a Tooth Extraction

At Clove Dental in Sherman Oaks, our goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, when tooth damage, infection, or overcrowding threatens your oral health, extraction may be the best solution. Tooth extractions help prevent further complications, alleviate pain, and restore your mouth’s health and function.

Our experienced dentists and oral surgeons ensure that every procedure is performed with precision and care, prioritizing your comfort. With cutting-edge technology and a patient-first approach, we make sure the process is smooth, efficient, and as pain-free as possible.

Types of Tooth Extractions at Clove Dental Sherman Oaks

Simple Extractions

When a tooth is visible above the gumline, we perform a simple extraction. This may be necessary due to decay, trauma, or preparation for orthodontic treatment. Local anesthesia ensures a painless experience, and our team takes care to protect surrounding teeth and tissues during the procedure.

Surgical Extractions

If a tooth is impacted, broken, or below the gumline, a surgical extraction is required. This involves making a small incision in the gum and, in some cases, removing bone tissue. Our oral surgeons in Sherman Oaks use advanced tools and techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure a safe and efficient recovery.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction

  • Severe Tooth Decay
    When decay extends beyond what a crown or filling can restore, extracting the tooth prevents infection from spreading to other areas.
  • Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontitis)
    If gum disease has caused severe damage or loosening of teeth, extraction may be necessary to safeguard the health of surrounding teeth and tissues.
  • Overcrowding or Orthodontic Needs
    Extracting teeth may be necessary to create space for orthodontic treatment, ensuring proper alignment with braces or Invisalign.
  • Wisdom Teeth Extraction
    Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and crowding. Our oral surgeons in Sherman Oaks are experienced in surgical wisdom teeth removal to prevent these issues.
  • Infections or Abscesses
    If an infection reaches the tooth’s pulp and a root canal cannot save it, extraction may be required to protect your overall oral health.

The Tooth Extraction Process in Sherman Oaks

At Clove Dental, we prioritize your comfort and care during every step of the extraction process:

Initial Consultation

We begin with a comprehensive exam, including X-rays, to assess the condition of your teeth and determine the best treatment plan. Depending on the case, we recommend either a simple or surgical extraction and will answer all your questions.

Preparing for the Procedure

We numb the area with local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. For more complex procedures, sedation options are available to help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout.

Extraction Procedure

  • Simple Extraction: The tooth is gently loosened and removed with specialized instruments.
  • Surgical Extraction: For impacted or broken teeth, we make a small incision in the gum and may remove bone tissue to access the tooth.

Post-Extraction Care

After the procedure, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and prevent complications. Our team will check in with you to ensure a smooth recovery.

Recovery Tips After Tooth Extraction

Following these aftercare steps will help you heal quickly:

  • Manage Bleeding: Bite down on gauze to control bleeding, changing it as needed. Avoid spitting or rinsing for the first 24 hours.
  • Control Swelling: Apply an ice pack to the cheek near the extraction site in 10-15 minute intervals during the first 24 hours.
  • Pain Relief: Use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage discomfort. For complex extractions, we may provide prescription medication.
  • Soft Foods Only: Stick to soft foods like mashed potatoes, yogurt, and soups for a few days to avoid irritating the site.
  • Avoid Straws and Smoking: Refrain from using straws or smoking for at least 48 hours to prevent dry socket.
  • Oral Hygiene: Continue brushing and flossing, but avoid the extraction area. After 24 hours, rinse gently with warm salt water to keep the area clean.
