Tooth Extraction

Preserving natural teeth is our priority, but a severely damaged or decayed tooth may be too compromised to save.

In these cases, our dentists can perform a tooth extraction using gentle techniques and sedation to ensure your comfort.

If you need a tooth extraction, Dr. Jose Valenzuela in Los Algodones, Mexico, can provide a virtually painless procedure.

When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

There are several different reasons why a tooth may need to be removed:

  • Extensive decay that cannot be repaired with a filling or crown
  • A crack or fracture that has severely compromised the tooth structure
  • Tooth mobility caused by advanced gum disease
  • A dental abscess or infection that cannot be addressed with root canal therapy
  • Insufficient space for proper tooth eruption

X-Rays

Prior to your dental treatment, Dr. Valenzuela will examine your mouth and take digital X-rays of your teeth and jaw. This will help him plan your extraction with precision.

Anesthetic

Dr. Valenzuela will numb your gums with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during your dental treatment.

Tooth Extraction

If the tooth is mostly intact with sufficient structure visible above the gumline, he will loosen it and gently lift it from the socket. If the tooth is impacted, fractured, or severely broken, he may need to make an incision, remove small amounts of bone, or divide the tooth into segments for easier extraction.

Sutures and Gauze

If needed, your dentist may use sutures to control bleeding. For wisdom teeth, Dr. Valenzuela may pack the extraction site with gauze to allow a blood clot to form. We will supply you with gauze so you can manage bleeding while the blood clot forms.

Healing and Recovery ​ After Your Dental Work

Any discomfort you experience after your dental work can usually be managed with prescribed medications or over-the-counter pain relievers. Slight swelling is typical and can be reduced with the application of a cold compress to the external jaw every 20 minutes for the first 24 hours. During the first two days, heavy lifting and exercise should be avoided, as strenuous activity can elevate the heart rate and result in increased bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.

Patients should also plan to eat a soft food diet for the first few days to minimize tenderness. After your procedure, Dr. Valenzuela will provide you with a comprehensive list of post-surgical instructions. Closely following these guidelines can help you experience a quick and comfortable recovery and minimize the chances of infection.

Smile Restoration Options

Following a dental extraction, you may be wondering what your options are when it comes to restoring your smile. With the exception of wisdom teeth, we always recommend replacing teeth that have been removed. Dr. Valenzuela in Los Algodones, Mexico, is a dentist who can provide you with a number of options, from dental implants to more traditional methods.

A single tooth can be restored with an implant-supported crown, while more extensive tooth loss can be addressed by an implant-supported dental bridge or denture, depending on the severity of your case. 

Dental Implants An Advanced Option Worth Considering

When you are missing teeth, it can compromise the function, health, and aesthetics of your smile. Over time, adjacent teeth will shift into the gaps left behind. This can significantly change your bite and have a negative impact on your dental health. There are several replacement options available, but for the right candidates, the best option is a dental implant.

Dental implants replace the roots of the missing teeth, which not only keeps a restoration firmly in place, but also prevents the jaw atrophy that would otherwise occur after tooth loss. Dental implants also provide unparalleled stability for restorations such as dentures and bridges. Implants require minor surgery and several months of recovery, but this dental work can provide lifelong benefits. Dr. Valenzuela can answer your questions about this solution and help determine if implants are right for you. His Los Algodones, Mexico, dental office can perform every stage of this procedure, from placement to restoration.

I had two teeth extracted and got bone grafts on them,I also got a crown on a tooth that needed lots of work. My friend John got a complete set of implants with all teeth extracted on one day and his temporary teeth the next day. His all on 4 needed to be all on 6 top and bottom at no extra cost. I will go back for more work on my teeth and John only has to come back for his new pearly white teeth. We had a great experience.

I needed new teeth and couldn’t afford them in the states Dr. Jose Valenzuela made it work for me and his clinic is sterile and I had no problem from the extractions, implants and the final prosthesis with any type of infections or have any out of the ordinary pain and suffering. He did a fine job and I got very workable, well fitting and very nice looking teeth.
