Tooth Extractions: Gentle Care When You Need It Most


Our goal is always to save your natural teeth. However, sometimes a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be repaired. In these cases, a Tooth Extraction is necessary to protect your overall health and relieve your pain.

At Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that the thought of having a tooth pulled can be stressful. We are here to make the process as smooth, comfortable, and anxiety-free as possible.

Whether you need a simple extraction, wisdom tooth removal, or surgery to prepare for an implant, our team combines advanced surgical skill with a compassionate touch to ensure you are well cared for.

EXPERTISE

Why Choose Gardens for Your Oral Surgery?


You don't have to be referred to a strange office for your extraction. We handle complex surgical procedures right here in your dental home.

  • Specialist-Level Skill: Our team includes Dr. Hans Almanzar (Implant & Cosmetic) and Dr. Jesse Lemoine (Periodontist). Their advanced training in oral surgery ensures your extraction is performed with precision, minimizing trauma to the surrounding bone and gum.

  • Sedation Options: We believe no patient should be in pain or fear. We offer Nitrous Oxide and IV Sedation so you can sleep comfortably through your procedure.

  • Bone Preservation: We don't just pull teeth; we plan for the future. We often perform socket preservation (bone grafting) at the time of extraction to maintain your jawbone for a future dental implant.

PROCEDURE

The Extraction Process


We take every step to ensure your safety and comfort.

  1. The Exam: We use digital X-rays or 3D scans to see the exact position of the tooth roots and nerves, allowing us to plan a safe removal.

  2. Numbing & Sedation: We apply a local anesthetic to completely numb the area. If you have chosen sedation, we will administer it before we begin so you are deeply relaxed.

  3. Gentle Removal: Using specialized instruments, the doctor gently loosens and removes the tooth. Most patients feel only pressure, not pain.

  4. Recovery: We place a small gauze pack to stop bleeding and provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients recover within a few days.

TESTIMONIAL

Patient Success Story: No Pain, No Fear


Actual Patient Scenario

The Challenge: "James," a 30-year-old, had a severely infected molar that kept him up at night. He had avoided the dentist for years because he was terrified of "having a tooth pulled." He was in agony but scared to make the appointment.

The Solution: James came to us for an emergency visit. Dr. Almanzar assured him he would feel nothing. We used IV sedation to help him sleep through the appointment. We removed the infected tooth and placed a bone graft to prepare the site for an implant later.

The Result: James woke up groggy but pain-free. He told us, "I don't even remember it happening. I was so scared for nothing. The relief is incredible."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions


Does getting a tooth pulled hurt?

No. You will be completely numb during the procedure. You may feel pressure, but you should not feel sharp pain. Afterward, you may have some soreness, which is easily managed with prescribed medication or over-the-counter pain relievers.

Do you remove wisdom teeth?

Yes. We perform wisdom tooth extractions for impacted or problematic third molars. Because this is often a more complex surgery, we typically recommend IV sedation for your comfort.

Can I get an implant the same day?

In many cases, yes! This is called an immediate implant. If the infection is gone and there is enough bone, Dr. Almanzar can place the dental implant into the socket right after the tooth is removed, saving you months of healing time.

What is a "Dry Socket"?

Dry socket occurs if the blood clot dislodges from the extraction site, exposing the bone. It is painful but treatable. To prevent it, avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or spitting forcefully for at least 3-4 days after surgery.

How long is the recovery?

For a simple extraction, the gum heals in about 1-2 weeks. For surgical extractions or wisdom teeth, it may take a bit longer. You should plan to take it easy and eat soft foods for the first 24-48 hours.
