Our primary objective is to preserve your natural tooth; however, in cases where the damage is too severe for repair, a dental extraction may be required.
Furthermore, the removal of wisdom teeth is often necessary to create adequate space in the jaw or to enhance overall dental health.

If you believe you require a tooth extraction, please reach out to our office today to schedule a consultation.

Dr. Nejad Answers Your Most Common Questions About Tooth Extractions
Do you remove wisdom teeth?
Certainly! We provide services for patients of all age groups requiring wisdom teeth extraction. It is important to note that not all individuals necessitate the removal of their wisdom teeth. We will assist you in determining the significance of wisdom teeth extraction for your long-term health and well-being.
Is tooth extraction a painful procedure?
We will ensure that you are completely numb and at ease throughout the process. Following the surgery, we may recommend pain relief medication for your use. Additionally, applying an ice pack can help reduce any discomfort you may experience in the days following the procedure.
How long does it take to recover from a dental extraction?
Post-surgery, it is essential to allow yourself time to rest. If anesthesia has been used, it is advisable to have a friend or family member drive you home. We will place gauze at the conclusion of the procedure, which you will need to change regularly. Should bleeding persist for more than 24 hours, please contact us. Upon returning home, rest is important, but avoid lying flat, as this may extend the bleeding; instead, elevate your head with a pillow.
Can I eat and drink immediately following an extraction?
Following your surgery, we will request that you restrict your intake of soft foods for a few days. Instead, we suggest the following options:
- Gelatin
- Pudding
- Yogurt
- Mashed potatoes
- Ice cream
- Thin soups
Additionally, when consuming liquids, please refrain from using a straw, as the sucking action may dislodge your sutures and impede the clotting process.
The same caution applies to smoking and vaping.
