Tooth Removal Services - Hayward, CA

Tooth extractions may be necessary to protect your oral health when a tooth is too damaged to be saved or is causing other issues. Common reasons for extractions include severe decay, advanced gum disease, or trauma to the tooth. By removing the problematic tooth, your dentist helps prevent infection, discomfort, or further damage to surrounding teeth.

The procedure for a standard extraction is straightforward. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area and carefully remove the tooth with minimal discomfort. After the procedure, proper aftercare ensures a smooth recovery, including instructions for managing pain, swelling, and oral hygiene.

Extractions can also prepare your mouth for restorative treatments like implants or orthodontics. While losing a tooth might feel daunting, it’s often the first step toward a healthier and more functional smile. Trust your dental team to guide you through the process with care and expertise.
