Tooth Extractions

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is too damaged, infected, or compromised to restore safely. While preserving natural teeth is always our first goal, sometimes extraction becomes the best option to prevent the spread of infection, eliminate pain, or protect the surrounding teeth and gums.

Extractions may be recommended for severe decay, fractured teeth, advanced gum disease, impacted teeth, or teeth that interfere with orthodontic alignment. Many extractions are simple, routine procedures performed comfortably with local anesthesia.

Your visit begins with a gentle, thorough evaluation. Dr. Hernandez takes time to understand your symptoms, review X-rays, and explain why extraction may be the best solution for your health. Patients appreciate the calm, educational approach—there is never pressure, only support and clarity.
During the procedure, the tooth and surrounding area are completely numbed to ensure your comfort. Dr. Hernandez uses careful, minimally invasive techniques to loosen and remove the tooth while reducing trauma to the surrounding tissues. This helps promote smoother healing and less post-operative discomfort.
After the extraction, you’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions tailored to your needs. Dr. Hernandez explains how to manage soreness, what to avoid, how to keep the area clean, and when to follow up. We stay available for questions and provide guidance throughout your recovery, so you never feel alone in the process.
