Why Tooth Extractions Are Sometimes Necessary
While our priority is to help you preserve your natural teeth, there are times when a tooth extraction becomes the best solution for your oral health. Common reasons for extraction include severe decay, infection, advanced gum disease, or preparing the mouth for orthodontic treatment. Our team at Wang and Cortes Dental provides gentle, skilled extractions to ensure a safe, comfortable experience.
Types of Tooth Extractions We Offer
We offer both simple and surgical extractions depending on the complexity of the case:
- Simple Extractions: This procedure is for teeth that are visible above the gum line and can be removed easily with dental instruments.
- Surgical Extractions: When a tooth is impacted, broken, or otherwise difficult to remove, surgical extraction may be necessary. This type of extraction is commonly required for wisdom teeth.
If you’re experiencing pain, discomfort, or other symptoms, our team, including Dr. William Wang, Dr. Lourdes “Millie” Cortes, Dr. Chad Burton, and Dr. Gibson Boswell, will evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action.

At Wang and Cortes Dental, we prioritize your comfort and ensure that each step of the extraction process is as smooth as possible:
- Consultation and X-Ray: We begin with a consultation and may take X-rays to fully understand the position and health of the tooth.

- Extraction Procedure: Using specialized tools, we gently remove the tooth with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.
- Post-Procedure Care: We provide aftercare instructions and may recommend follow-up treatments, such as Dental Implants or Dental Bridges, to restore your smile.
