Gentle Tooth Extractions in Rosemead
We always try to save your natural teeth. But sometimes a tooth is too damaged, infected, or crowded to keep, and removing it is the healthiest choice. At Kuwaye Dental in Rosemead, Dr. Dennis Kuwaye, Jr. performs extractions gently and explains every step, so you know what to expect.
When an Extraction May Be Needed
-
A tooth with severe decay or a deep crack
-
Advanced gum disease that has loosened a tooth
-
Wisdom teeth that are stuck, crowded, or causing pain
-
Teeth removed to make room for orthodontic treatment
What to Expect
We start with an exam and X-rays to plan the safest approach. Before we begin, we numb the area well so you stay comfortable. Most simple extractions are quick. If a case needs a specialist, we'll tell you and help with the referral.
Recovery Tips
We'll give you clear aftercare instructions. In general: rest for the day, bite on gauze as directed, avoid straws and smoking, and stick to soft foods for a few days. Call us if you have questions or concerns while you heal.
Replacing a Missing Tooth
After an extraction, we'll talk about options to fill the space, like a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture, so your bite stays healthy and your smile stays complete.
