At Desert Valley Dentistry & Spa, we understand that having a tooth removed can feel stressful. That is why our dentist and team approach every extraction with compassion, precision and a commitment to your comfort. We provide gentle and effective tooth extractions in Glendale, Arizona, for patients who need relief from pain, infection or overcrowding.
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure used when a tooth is too damaged to be restored or when removal is necessary to support overall oral health. Whether due to severe decay, trauma or spacing issues, our team will guide you through the process and help you feel confident in your care.
When Is Tooth Extraction Recommended?
Tooth extraction may be the best option in several situations, including:
• Severe tooth decay or damage beyond repair
• Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability
• Impacted teeth that cannot erupt properly
• Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
• Infection that cannot be treated with root canal therapy
Our dentist and team begin with a thorough exam and takes time to discuss your needs and any available alternatives. If extraction is necessary, we will make sure you feel informed and prepared.
What to Expect During the Procedure
We prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure. Most extractions are performed using local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring minimal discomfort. Our dentist uses advanced techniques and tools to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible. In many cases, the extraction takes just a few minutes.
Following the procedure, we will provide clear aftercare instructions to support a healthy recovery. This includes recommendations for pain management, healing and any follow-up appointments that may be needed. We also offer restorative options to replace your tooth if necessary.
