Relieves Pain
Removing a problematic tooth ends the pain and pressure caused by severe decay, infection, or an impacted tooth.
Does the thought of having a tooth removed feel intimidating? Tooth extraction in Woodland Hills, CA, does not have to be stressful, thanks to modern technology that makes it smooth and comfortable. At Woodland Hills Family Dentistry, our skilled team removes problematic teeth with minimal discomfort and care tailored to your needs.
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that can no longer be saved or is causing problems for your oral health. It may be needed for a severely decayed tooth, a tooth loosened by gum disease, an impacted wisdom tooth, or to make room for orthodontic treatment. Using modern techniques and local anesthesia, our team performs simple and surgical extractions designed to be as pain-free and stress-free as possible.

Book a ConsultationYour dentist takes X-rays and examines your mouth to confirm extraction is the best option and plan your care.
On extraction day, we numb the area with local anesthetic and may offer sedation for more complex removals.
Once you are numb, the dentist gently loosens the tooth from the jawbone and ligaments before removing it.
For an impacted tooth, a small incision and a little bone removal may be needed before lifting it out.
A blood clot forms in the socket, and we share detailed aftercare tips and schedule a follow-up visit.
A tooth too damaged by decay to be saved with a filling or a crown often needs to be removed.
Advanced gum disease can loosen a tooth so much that extraction protects your overall oral health.
Impacted wisdom teeth without room to emerge can cause pain or infection and often need removal.
An infection that has damaged a tooth beyond what antibiotics can cure may call for extraction.

The fee depends on the type of extraction, which tooth is involved, whether sedation is used, and other factors. Our dentist will provide a detailed treatment plan outlining all fees so there are no surprises.
Many dental plans help cover extractions, since they are typically a necessary procedure. Our team will verify your benefits and include your estimated coverage in your treatment plan.
After a consultation with X-rays to confirm an extraction is needed, we can schedule your procedure promptly. Contact us and we will arrange a convenient time, especially if you are in pain.
We numb the area with local anesthetic so you should not feel pain during the procedure, and sedation is available for complex cases. Mild soreness afterward is normal and easily managed with aftercare.
Rest for the first 24 hours, use ice packs to reduce swelling, and stick to soft foods for a few days. Avoid smoking and drinking through straws for at least 48 hours so the blood clot can heal properly.
Replacing a missing tooth helps protect your chewing, speech, and the alignment of your remaining teeth. We offer options like dental implants, bridges, and dentures to restore your smile.
A bone graft can be placed in the socket to prevent bone loss, which is helpful if you plan to get implants. Grafts are often done the same day as the extraction, though they are not needed for baby or wisdom teeth.
