Dental Extractions in Newport Beach

Get Help with Problematic Teeth from Luminous Smiles

Sometimes, when you have decayed or damaged teeth, the best option is to extract the tooth. This is a routine procedure that is done to preserve your overall oral health. Our Newport Beach dentist will do everything possible to preserve your natural teeth. However, if an extraction is recommended, we will ensure that you understand all of your treatment options, including any replacement options, such as a dental implant or prosthetic. We know that the prospect of getting tooth extractions can be nerve-wracking. At Luminous Smiles, we will do everything in our power to ensure that you are as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout your procedure.

The Tooth Extraction Process

If you are having trouble with decayed, damaged, or problematic teeth, you should meet with your dentist to find out what your treatment options are. If extractions are unavoidable, we will schedule your extraction appointment and answer any questions you may have. During the oral surgery, you will receive a local anesthetic, or if your situation warrants it, you may be sedated or given general anesthesia. You will also be prescribed pain management medication for after your procedure. After your extractions, it is important that you adhere to the post-treatment guidelines outlined by your dentist.

Post-treatment care often includes directive to:

• Avoid certain foods
• Avoid drinking through a straw
• Avoid smoking
• Keep the surgical site clean
• Take the full course of prescribed antibiotics
• Take any other prescribed medications

If after your extractions you have any concerns, you are encouraged to follow up with us. Our friendly staff members are standing by to answer any questions and guide you throughout the treatment process.
