Tooth Extractions in Hawthorne, CA

When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Extractions may be recommended in cases where a tooth cannot be repaired or threatens overall oral health. Common reasons include:

• Severe tooth decay beyond restoration
• Advanced periodontal disease damaging supporting bone
• Fractures or breaks that cannot be repaired with Dental Crowns
• Impacted teeth interfering with neighboring teeth or bite alignment
• Preparation for orthodontic treatment like Braces or Invisalign

For complex cases, such as impacted wisdom teeth, our team also offers dedicated Wisdom Teeth Removal.

Our Extraction Process

Every patient receives a personalized evaluation before treatment. Here’s what to expect:

1. Examination & Imaging – X-rays help determine the tooth’s position and the best removal method.
2. Anesthesia & Sedation Options – We provide local anesthesia, with additional comfort options available through Sedation Dentistry, including nitrous oxide and IV sedation.
3. Tooth Removal – The tooth is carefully loosened and extracted using advanced techniques.
4. Post-Care Guidance – We give detailed instructions for recovery, including diet, oral hygiene, and follow-up visits.

Replacing an Extracted Tooth

In most cases, replacing a missing tooth is important for maintaining oral health. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:

• Dental Implants for a permanent solution
• Dental Bridges to restore function and appearance
• Full & Partial Dentures as a cost-effective alternative
