Extractions in Jacksonville, FL

There are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth. Sometimes a baby tooth has misshapen or long roots that prevent it from falling out as it should, and the tooth must be removed to make way for the permanent tooth to erupt. At other times, a tooth may have so much decay that it puts the surrounding teeth and jaw at risk of decay, so your doctor may recommend removal and replacement with a bridge or implant. Infection, orthodontic correction, or problems with a wisdom tooth can also require removal of a tooth.

When it is determined that a tooth needs to be removed, your dentist may extract the tooth during a regular checkup or may schedule another visit for this procedure. The root of each tooth is encased within your jawbone in a "tooth socket," and your tooth is held in that socket by a ligament. In order to extract a tooth, your dentist must expand the socket and separate the tooth from the ligament holding it in place. While this procedure is typically very quick, it is important to share with your doctor any concerns or preferences for sedation.

Once a tooth has been removed, neighboring teeth may shift, causing problems with chewing or with your jaw joint function. To avoid these complications, your dentist may recommend that you replace the extracted tooth.

After four years of searching I finally found a dentist who is so much like the one I left in Lake Placid, Fl. Dr Rios is kind, personable, efficient and his staff reflects that attitude. Yes I'd recommend him to family. friends and someone who is looking for a really good dentist.

Dr Rios and his staff are very professional and friendly. My family has been going to Cypress Point Family dentistry for years now and we always recommend them to friends. They are very good at taking the time to explain any additional procedures and to provide cost estimates based on our insurance.

Everyone here is always pleasant and efficient in getting me in and out for my appointments. Dawn cleans my teeth with care and is very thorough with my cleanings. Dr. Rios is always quick to get in and look at my teeth after my cleaning is finished so that I can get on with my day without too much downtime. I never feel pressured by their recommendations and never feel like they're trying to sell me products or services I don't really need. Great place with great people, definitely recommend!

I had a super friendly experience attending a cleaning visit here. The Dr. and his assistant used a sound combination of technology and expertise to thoroughly go through my mouth. The pictures were scary, but the advice was priceless. I wish I had visited this office earlier.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Rios. I have been a patient here for a number of years as are my children and husband. I have no hesitation recommending the whole practice. Dr Rios takes a real pleasure in his job, he is knowledgeable, professional but also very kind with a nervous patient such as I. Emily understands the patients and our needs. She remembers layered details about our dental care and family history that makes arranging dental care for our family so much easier.

Wonderful and thoughtful dentist and office staff. I had a broken tooth and they fit me into the schedule same day because they truly care for their patients. When I called, they ensured that I wasn't in severe pain and could wait a couple of hours for an appointment. They are extremely professional and make you feel like family.

I was so lucky to have found a family dentist who are dedicated and compassionate about what they do. The staff was very friendly from the time I walked in to the time I left everyone is very pleasant. Dr. Rios and Mrs.Emily made sure I was very comfortable and satisfied with the information that was given to me on how to move forward. I would recommend them to anyone who don’t know where to begin on their journey, and become a part of a wonderful team and family.

I called seeing if they took my insurance and the man on the phone said that they currently didn’t. I told him that the place listed on my card wouldn’t answer their phone/voicemails etc and he went out of his way to look the place up to see that the number I had was wrong and that’s why I wasn’t getting a call back. I truly appreciate that he went out of his way to help and can tell that they care about their patients. Such nice people!
