What is tooth extraction?


Our experienced dental team is committed to providing the highest standard of care, including safe and gentle tooth extraction procedures. A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected beyond repair with other treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy. Extractions are also sometimes needed to address overcrowding—especially before orthodontic treatment—or to remove impacted teeth such as wisdom teeth that haven’t properly emerged.
 
When you visit Smile Theory of Beverly Hills for a tooth extraction, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. We use advanced local anesthetics to thoroughly numb the area and minimize discomfort. Our skilled dentists use precise techniques and gentle care to remove the tooth efficiently, helping to preserve surrounding bone and tissue.
 
After your extraction, you will receive personalized aftercare instructions from our team. Our team is always available to answer questions and support you through the healing process, which varies depending on individual health and the complexity of the procedure.
 
At Smile Theory of Beverly Hills, your oral health and comfort are paramount. We take the time to discuss all your treatment options, potential risks, and expected outcomes. If you have concerns about a problematic tooth or are considering extraction as part of your dental care, contact us today to schedule a consultation with our compassionate experts.

Why would I need a tooth extraction?


One common reason for extraction is severe tooth decay that cannot be repaired with a filling, crown, or other restorative procedures. When decay reaches the center of the tooth and causes infection or irreversible damage, removal may be necessary to protect the surrounding teeth and gums. Advanced gum disease (periodontal disease) is another reason, especially if the supporting bone and tissues have become too compromised to hold the tooth in place.
 
Our team at Smile Theory of Beverly Hills also sees patients who need extractions to address overcrowding, particularly before orthodontic treatment. Removing certain teeth can create the space needed for proper alignment and a healthier, more beautiful smile. Impacted wisdom teeth are another common concern—when these teeth do not have enough room to emerge properly, extraction can prevent pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
 
Trauma or injury can also result in teeth that are broken or fractured beyond repair. In such cases, extraction may be the best way to restore comfort and function. Additionally, if you are undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy or organ transplantation, our dental experts may recommend preemptive extraction to reduce the risk of infection and complications during your treatment.
 
At Smile Theory of Beverly Hills, each case is unique. Our experienced dentists will thoroughly assess your needs and discuss all available options before recommending extraction. We are committed to your oral health, overall well-being, and peace of mind every step of the way.

What are the different types of tooth extractions?


At Smile Theory of Beverly Hills, our experienced dental team is dedicated to providing gentle, effective solutions to help you achieve optimal oral health. One of the procedures we offer is tooth extraction, which may be necessary to protect your smile and overall well-being. There are two main types of tooth extractions performed at our Beverly Hills practice:

• Simple Extractions: Simple extractions are performed when a tooth is visible above the gum line and can be easily accessed in your mouth. Our dentists use specialized instruments and offer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Simple extractions are commonly performed for teeth affected by mild decay, crowding, or those that cannot be restored.
• Surgical Extractions: For teeth that are broken at the gum line, impacted (such as wisdom teeth), or have not fully erupted, a surgical extraction may be necessary. Our team, led by experienced dental professionals, will gently make a small incision in the gum to access the tooth. In some cases, we may need to remove a small amount of surrounding bone or divide the tooth into sections for easier removal. Depending on your needs, we offer local anesthesia and can discuss sedation options for your comfort.
 
At Smile Theory of Beverly Hills, we understand that every patient’s situation is unique. Before recommending an extraction, our dentists will perform a thorough examination, including digital X-rays if needed, to assess the position and condition of your tooth and your overall oral health. We will discuss your treatment options in detail and answer any questions you may have, ensuring you feel confident and cared for every step of the way. We provide:

• Compassionate, Experienced Team: Our Beverly Hills dentists are highly trained in both simple and surgical extractions, with a focus on patient comfort and safety.
• State-of-the-Art Technology: We utilize advanced dental technology to ensure precise, minimally invasive procedures.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: We tailor every extraction to your unique needs, prioritizing your comfort and long-term oral health.

How long does a tooth extraction take?


At Smile Theory of Beverly Hills, we understand that our patients want to know what to expect when it comes to dental procedures like tooth extractions. The duration of a tooth extraction at our Beverly Hills dental office can vary depending on several factors, but in most cases, a straightforward extraction of a visible tooth typically takes about 20 to 40 minutes from start to finish. This timeframe includes administering gentle local anesthesia, carefully removing the tooth, and providing you with thorough post-procedure care and instructions.
 
If your case involves an impacted, broken, or difficult-to-reach tooth—such as wisdom teeth—the procedure may take a bit longer, occasionally up to an hour or more. The length of your visit at Smile Theory will depend on the location and condition of the tooth, the complexity of the extraction, the presence of any infection, and your overall health.
 
After your extraction, our team will have you remain in our comfortable office for a short observation period to ensure bleeding is controlled and that you feel well before you leave. Our experienced dentists and oral surgeons will discuss your specific situation in detail and provide you with a personalized estimate of your procedure time, so you know exactly what to expect every step of the way.
