Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth

Teeth that can no longer be repaired due to multiple layers of damage more often than not will need to be extracted. While Dr. Sixto has exceptional abilities when it comes to restoring compromised teeth, extraction may still sometimes be the preferred treatment in order to prevent swelling and infection. Dr. Sixto has the experience and compassion to make the process manageable and stress-free.

What is tooth extraction?

Dr. Sixto aims to preserve as much of your natural bone and gum during the extraction process as possible. He uses advanced, state-of-the-art technology that helps minimize swelling and discomfort. In many cases, the offending tooth can be extracted at the same time as a dental implant is created, reducing your overall treatment time.

Who is a good candidate for tooth extractions?

If you are experiencing moderate to severe oral pain or your teeth are in an advanced state of decay, you could be a good candidate for extraction. During your private, in-depth consultation process, Dr. Sixto will determine if you:

Are suffering from advanced dental decay
Are experiencing moderate to severe dental pain caused by a damaged tooth
Are struggling with swollen gums
Are dealing with a tooth abscess
Have a cracked or broken tooth
Have experienced an injury to the mouth
Have an active gum infection

Dr. Sixto will perform the appropriate diagnostic tests and curate a treatment plan that is perfectly matched to your goals. He has the expertise, skill, and caring demeanor to make your tooth extraction as comfortable and quick as possible.

What is wisdom tooth extraction?

Also called the “third molars,” wisdom teeth usually emerge in one’s teens or early twenties. Our team can obtain detailed imaging of these teeth, scanning the nerves, tissues, and musculature that may be involved with their removal.

Among the most common reasons for wisdom teeth removal are:

Pain and discomfort
Overcrowding
Infection
Bite misalignment
Structural damage to the bone

What is socket preservation?

When a tooth is removed, it leaves behind its socket, or hollow cavity. Without any intervention, the socket may lose height and width, shrinking as it heals. This can make it difficult to place implants in the future. In order to properly prepare your tooth socket for restorations down the line, Dr. Sixto can perform bone grafting. He places the grafting material into the cavity in order to trigger the regeneration of healthy bone. Without socket preservation, the bone may become distorted, and the foundation for your smile may be compromised.
