Tooth Extraction

Simple and complex extractions, including wisdom teeth

Tooth loss is an unfortunate, but very common occurrence which affects a large percentage of our population. A whopping 70% of adults between the ages of 35 and 44 will lose at least one permanent tooth. Gum disease, tooth decay, and accidental trauma can compromise the health and integrity of your natural teeth. It is also common to lose a natural tooth following a failed root canal or root fracture.

Although Dr. Almasri’s goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, it is sometimes necessary to remove the affected tooth and consider the appropriate replacement option.

When tooth extraction is inevitable, you can trust Dr. Almasri to perform the procedure with precision and care. You will be informed of all treatment options prior to the procedure, and we encourage you to become engaged in your treatment. Feel free to ask questions and review the available patient education materials.

A complete examination with the aid of dental x-rays will help Dr. Almasri to determine the best strategy for extracting your tooth. For simple extractions, the procedure can be completed in only a few minutes, and a speedy recovery can be expected. For more complex extractions, the appropriate post-operative instructions will be provided in order to position you for the best possible outcome.

Dr. Almasri and his staff understand that the tooth extraction process is one of the most feared procedures in dentistry. Our goal is to create a relaxing and comfortable environment that will alleviate your concerns. Our dentist and staff will thoroughly explain each step of the procedure to ensure that you are well- informed and comfortable with the proposed treatment. There are also a variety of solutions available to address any anxiety or apprehension.
