Tooth Extractions in San Diego

San Diego Tooth Extraction | Rancho PenasquitosWe want you to enjoy a healthy, happy smile for as long as possible, so we focus on treatments and services that preserve the health and structure of your teeth. There are times, however, when we’ve looked at every possible solution and removal of a tooth is the healthiest, most sensible option.

The idea of losing a tooth is certainly upsetting. You are losing a tooth you thought you’d have for a long time. You also have to deal with the thought of going through the procedure itself.

You can be confident knowing you are in good hands with the skilled team at Peak Dental. 

Reasons for Tooth Extraction

In some cases, it is necessary to remove a tooth on an emergency basis. Examples would be a dental trauma or severe root canal infection. However, there are a number of other reasons for extracting a tooth: 

  • We have exhausted all options for saving a severely decayed tooth.
  • A root canal is severely infected and cannot be treated any other way.
  • Wisdom teeth threaten the alignment of neighboring teeth.
  • We’re planning full or partial dentures and need to remove one or more teeth.
  • We're preparing orthodontic treatment for children.

Frequently Asked Questions

dental extractions san diegoWe’re committed to helping you keep your teeth for a lifetime. With the help of a wide array of services, our goal at Peak Dental is to do everything we can to try to save a damaged tooth. Sometimes, however, it may be in the best interest of your overall oral health to remove the tooth.

There are several cases where Dr. Nguyen may determine that extracting a tooth is the best option. A tooth may need to be extracted because it’s severely decayed, damaged by advanced periodontal disease, or compromised in such a way that it cannot be repaired. In other cases, a tooth may need to be removed because it’s poorly positioned in the mouth (such as wisdom teeth) or we are preparing you for orthodontic treatment or complete dentures.

There are many cases where Dr. Nguyen performs simple extractions. However, there are situations where we may decide that your needs would be better served by a highly skilled oral surgeon who has specialized training in more complex cases, like impacted wisdom teeth removal. In this case, our doctor will coordinate your extraction with your oral surgeon so you are always assured of the highest standard of care available.
