Dental Extractions

Dental extractions are generally performed when a tooth is so severely damaged or decayed that it cannot be restored. In some cases, dental extractions may also be performed before orthodontic or other types of dental treatments. Our Beverly Hills dental extractions specialist is committed to providing comfortable dental extractions and a variety of restoration options that will improve your dental health.

If you are a candidate for dental extractions, our specialist for dental extractions in Beverly Hills will first numb the area around the tooth. If you experience dental anxiety or are fearful, we may also offer dental sedation options, such as inhaled or oral sedation, to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.

Our Beverly Hills tooth extractions specialist will extract the damaged or diseased tooth. Stitches may be placed, and you will be instructed to bite on gauze until the bleeding stops. Recovery from dental extraction may take a few days. Avoid drinking out of straws or drinking carbonated beverages, both of which can dislodge the clot and increase your risk of developing a painful dry socket. Smoking can delay healing and increase the risk of post-procedure complications. A warm salt water rinse can help ease swelling and inflammation, and soft foods can help you ease back into your normal eating habits.

Dental Extractions Beverly Hills

Once your extraction site is healed, our specialist for tooth extractions in Beverly Hills can offer you several options for replacing the tooth in order to preserve your smile’s health and restore its function and aesthetics. You may be able to choose from dental implants, dental bridges or dentures, depending on the number of teeth extracted or lost, your overall dental health status and your own personal preferences.
