When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Tooth extractions are sometimes the best solution to relieve pain, prevent the spread of infection, or prepare for orthodontic treatment. Common reasons include severe decay, advanced gum disease, trauma, overcrowding, or impacted wisdom teeth. At Baymeadows Park Dental, we evaluate all options before recommending removal and make your comfort our top priority.

Simple vs. Surgical Extractions

We offer both simple extractions for visible teeth and surgical extractions for impacted or broken teeth. Surgical procedures are often required for wisdom teeth or teeth that haven’t fully erupted. Dr. Rios has over 20 years of experience in performing surgical extractions with a high level of precision and care.

Advanced Technology for Accurate Diagnosis

To ensure accurate diagnosis and safe procedures, we use advanced 3D X-rays (CBCT) and a digital intraoral scanner. This technology gives us detailed insight into your tooth and bone structure, allowing us to plan each extraction with predictable outcomes and minimal discomfort.

What to Expect After a Tooth Extraction

Our team provides complete aftercare instructions to promote fast, healthy healing. We'll guide you on what to eat, how to manage discomfort, and how to avoid complications like dry socket. Most patients recover quickly with minimal downtime.

Prevent Future Bone Loss with Socket Preservation

After extraction, preserving your jawbone is key—especially if you're considering a dental implant later. We may recommend socket preservation techniques to maintain bone volume and support future restoration options.

We Accept Insurance & Offer Flexible Payment

We’re in-network with most PPO insurance plans and can help you understand your coverage before treatment. For patients without insurance, we offer interest-free payment plans through CareCredit and Sunbit, making it easier to afford the care you need.
