Tooth Extractions
Gentle, Professional Tooth Removal When Necessary
At Cura Dental, we always prioritize saving your natural teeth whenever possible. However, when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing overcrowding, a safe and gentle extraction may be the best step toward restoring your oral health.
Our team, led by Dr. Eddie Rosario, performs both simple and surgical tooth extractions with precision, comfort, and care.
Why Might a Tooth Need to Be Extracted?
We may recommend an extraction for the following reasons:
Severe decay or damage beyond repair
Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
A fractured tooth below the gumline
Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
Overcrowding (especially before orthodontic treatment)
Dental infection or abscess that cannot be resolved with a root canal
Before any extraction, we’ll conduct a thorough exam and review all of your options. Extraction is only recommended when it’s truly the best choice for your long-term oral health.
Types of Tooth Extractions
At Cura Dental, we offer:
Simple Extractions: For teeth that are fully visible and accessible.
Surgical Extractions: For impacted or broken teeth that require a more complex approach.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your comfort is our top priority. Here’s what you can expect:
Numbing & Comfort: We use local anesthesia to ensure the procedure is pain-free.
Extraction: The tooth is carefully loosened and removed using gentle techniques.
Aftercare Instructions: We’ll provide full guidance on how to recover smoothly and comfortably.
If necessary, we may discuss tooth replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures.
Aftercare & Healing
Healing typically takes a few days. During that time, we recommend:
Resting and avoiding strenuous activity
Eating soft foods
Using cold compresses for swelling
Taking any prescribed medication as directed
Avoiding smoking, straws, or alcohol during recovery
Our team is always available if you have questions during healing.
