Your Path to Comfort and Oral Health in Jurupa Valley, formerly known as Mira Loma

At Mira Loma Dental, we understand that the thought of a tooth extraction can feel intimidating. However, tooth extraction is a common and routine dental procedure, especially when performed by an experienced oral surgery dentist in Jurupa Valley, formerly known as Mira Loma. Thanks to advances in dental techniques, extractions are now typically painless and accompanied by a smooth recovery process. Our team is here to guide you through every step with compassionate care and expert treatment.

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This minor oral surgery is often recommended to relieve pain, prevent infection, or improve overall oral health. Though it may sound complicated, most tooth extractions are straightforward and carry a very low risk of long-term complications.

Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction

There are several reasons why a dentist might recommend tooth removal, including:

Severe Tooth Decay: When decay damages a tooth beyond repair, extraction prevents further infection and alleviates discomfort.
Impacted or Malfunctioning Teeth: Teeth that do not erupt properly, such as wisdom teeth, can cause crowding or become a source of infection.
Difficulty Cleaning: Teeth that are hard to clean, often wisdom teeth, are prone to inflammation and may require removal.
Emergency Tooth Removal: In urgent cases of trauma or infection, timely extraction can save your oral health.

The Tooth Extraction Procedure

Most tooth extractions at Mira Loma Dental are quick and efficient. Before the procedure, we take necessary X-rays to assess your teeth and plan your treatment.

The area around the tooth is numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure a painless tooth extraction.
For anxious patients, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) may be provided to promote relaxation.
In cases where multiple teeth require removal, or if full sedation is preferred, intravenous anesthesia is administered to keep you comfortable and unaware during the procedure.

During the extraction, you’ll feel pressure but no pain as the tooth is gently removed with dental forceps. Surgical methods are reserved for more complicated cases.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following your tooth extraction, proper care is essential for a smooth recovery. Our dental experts provide detailed extraction aftercare tips, including:

Keeping gauze over the extraction site to control bleeding
Avoiding strenuous activities and rinsing for the first 24 hours
Taking any prescribed pain medication as directed
Maintaining oral hygiene while protecting the healing area

Most patients heal quickly with minimal discomfort. Once the site has fully healed, we can discuss options to replace missing teeth, such as bridges, dentures, or dental implants, to restore function and appearance.
