Tooth Extractions San Diego
Good oral hygiene should always be practiced since the loss of a single tooth can have major impact upon your oral health and appearance. Although dentists will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, there still sometimes necessary occasions when a tooth may need to be extracted. A tooth may need to be extracted for the following reasons:
– Severe decay
– Advanced periodontal disease
– Infection or abcess
– Malpositioned teeth
– Fractured teeth or roots
– Impacted teeth
After careful examination and treatment, the dentist may advise to have a tooth extracted. Before a tooth is removed, the dentist will take an x-ray in order to understand the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone. Based on the degree of difficulty, we may refer you to a specialized oral surgeon.
For a simple extraction, we will first apply a local anesthetic to prevent pain and discomfort. The tooth will be loosened with a tool called an elevator and then removed with dental forceps. Once the procedure is complete, the area may be closed with one or two stitches. We will then provide you with care instructions to alleviate discomfort and ensure proper healing.

I love this office! Best dental group I have been too. They even helped keep an eye on my baby while I was getting my teeth cleaned. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! Dr Aras is such a great dentist and takes a lot of time answering my questions. I highly recommend this office! It feels like someone’s home whenever I am there.

Noelle is extremely passionate about her job and it shows. I’m not much of a fan of going to the dentist (…well, who is?) but she makes my cleaning go by quickly and painlessly. These people care about what they do and their patients..

My dental cleaning was quick, fun, and easy. The dental technician was professional and thorough, so I was finished in less than an hour. I would highly recommend Center Point Dental Group.

I trust Dr. McCleave. Over the years several hygienists in his office have spoken approvingly about him and one hygienist elsewhere even thought my Tooth #1 was beautiful. Also, I have never had a toothache.

Always a great process from appointment setting, to appointment confirmation/updates. In my 7 years of going never had to wait more than a few minutes to be called in for my cleanings. Have had a few fillings and an emergency chipped tooth that they took me in same day. Best dentist office I’ve experienced and will always my business and referrals. All the staff is amazing and I always look forward to my cleanings with Richard as well.

I’m new to this office. I read the reviews before I decided to make my appointment. the staff is just so kind and so helpful. I was made to feel like ode been part of this office long term. My experience with Dr Aras has been wonderful. He’s very informative without “selling” you on future care. He has great advice and I have found my new dentist and his crew!
