Tooth Extractions

Serving Sonora, near Stockton & Modesto

Minor decay and enamel damage caused by injury can usually be fixed with one of many cosmetic and restorative treatments; However, if you've got a tooth problem that is just too big to repair, Dr. Berger may recommend an extraction. An tooth extraction is most often a last resort recommendation. But “pulling” a tooth does not have to mean your smile will stay incomplete. Modern dental implants are incredibly natural and designed to function just like real teeth.

Extraction may be necessary due to:

• Severe tooth decay
• Decay that has penetrated the tooth root
• Gum disease
• Impacted wisdom teeth
• To prepare the mouth for braces
• Severe breaking or cracking

Replacing a missing tooth is important in maintaining dental health. dentures can dramatically improve chewing ability and restore a healthy and balanced bite.

During the tooth extraction procedure, Dr. Berger will gently work the tooth roots out of the jawbone by first expanding the tooth socket. Rocking and rotating movements are used to maneuver the tooth out of place. During the healing process, patients can expect some soreness, swelling, and discomfort; however, prescription pain medication and ice packs can make the healing process quite smooth.
