When a tooth becomes severely damaged, decayed, or poses a risk to your oral health, a tooth extraction might be necessary to protect your smile. At Sweet City Smiles, Dr. Jonathan Chang offers gentle, professional tooth extractions using advanced techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Our comprehensive approach prioritizes your well-being while maintaining the highest standards of dental care.

Why Professional Tooth Extractions Matter for Your Health

Professional tooth extractions offer significant benefits when performed by experienced dental professionals. Pain relief is immediate when removing severely infected or damaged teeth that cause chronic discomfort. The procedure prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums, protecting your overall oral health. Additionally, tooth extractions can create space for orthodontic treatment or prepare your mouth for dental implants or other restorative procedures. Our prevention-centered approach ensures that extractions are only recommended when absolutely necessary for your long-term dental health and comfort.

What to Expect During Your Tooth Extraction Procedure

Our tooth extraction process begins with a thorough examination and digital imaging to assess your specific situation. Dr. Jonathan Chang administers local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort during the procedure. Simple extractions involve gently loosening and removing visible teeth, while surgical extractions may be needed for impacted or broken teeth. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and pain management guidance to promote healing. Our compassionate team monitors your recovery and remains available for any questions or concerns throughout your healing process, ensuring optimal results.
