Intense tooth pain can be a strong motivator. When the sensation is excruciating you want nothing more than to be rid of the troubled tooth. At Bonita Del Rey we don’t take tooth extractions lightly. We want to alleviate your pain but at the same time preserve your tooth if at all possible. If the decay is severe or the tooth is causing issues with its surrounding teeth, it has to go. When this is the case, count on us to provide the exceptionally compassionate care you need.

For most teeth, extraction is a very straightforward procedure during which we use a tool called an elevator to loosen the tooth before pulling it out with forceps. Wisdom teeth require a somewhat more sophisticated surgical procedure that includes its own special care during healing. If you undergo wisdom teeth removal, you will need transportation to and from our Chula Vista, CA dental clinic. We’re highly experienced with all types of tooth extractions and through our affiliation with a local anesthesiologist can provide IV sedation or whatever level of anesthetic is needed to keep you pain- and stress-free throughout the procedure.
