Tooth Extractions La Verne, CA
Nobody relishes the idea of having a tooth pulled. Sometimes, however, teeth can become severely damaged or decayed in where the only treatment option is to remove the tooth. In other instances, teeth may need to be removed to accommodate implants, dentures, or other fixtures. Either way, it is crucial to seek a dentist with the knowledge necessary to ensure your comfort and maximize your safety. Elevated Dentistry is pleased to offer tooth extraction services right here in La Verne, CA.
What is a Tooth Extraction?
If your dentist ever tells you that you need to have a tooth extracted, it may be a little bit concerning. The reality is that this procedure is extremely common, and really nothing to worry about. The tooth extraction process simply involves a tooth being removed because it has become damaged, infected or because your dentist needs to prepare your mouth for further treatment. There are different kinds of tooth extraction that we perform at Elevated Dentistry. Sometimes, a tooth can be removed cleanly and simply, while teeth that are broken may require a more complex procedure.
No matter the type of extraction you require, your dentist can provide you with numbing or sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

The first step in the process is meeting with a provider from Elevated Dentistry. We will evaluate your tooth and walk you through the type of extraction it requires. We will also be happy to answer any of your questions, ensuring you feel totally comfortable and confident in the process.
During the Procedure
Once you have received your sedation and your dentist confirms that you are comfortable, it will be time for the tooth to be extracted. There should not be any pain during your tooth extraction, and our staff will be on hand to ensure your comfort.
The Extraction
Many patients have questions about the tooth extraction timeline. For a simple extraction involving a single tooth, the entire process may take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes.
