CedarNorth Dental always works hard to save your existing teeth. However, in the cases when the tooth can’t be salvaged, we specialize in gentle teeth extractions.
The professional and experienced dentists will help keep you calm and comfortable during your tooth extraction. Depending on your unique dental health and needs, we will recommend local anesthesia, oral sedation or laughing gas to aid in your comfort. Once you’ve received your anesthesia, you’ll find that the actual extraction is very quick, and while you’ll feel some pressure, it is typically not painful.
Once you are home, you may experience some swelling. This can usually be managed with an ice pack on the outer cheek for about 20 minutes at a time. Once the swelling subsides, you can use a warm compress for comfort.

After a healing period, you’ll most likely be able to go back to a regular diet. New bone and gum tissue will grow over the extraction site as well. CedarNorth is here to help if you need a tooth removed. In addition to tooth extractions, we specialize in providing complete implant care, orthodontics, sleep therapy and sedation dentistry. Our practice is committed to gentle, personalized patient care using the latest technology. Contact CedarNorth at (559) 214-2468 to schedule an appointment today.
