Extractions & Bone Preservation
At Catalina Dental, our experienced dental professionals are dedicated to providing exceptional care and ensuring your comfort during every visit. We understand that tooth extraction can be a daunting experience for many patients, but at our Redondo Beach clinic, we strive to make the process as painless and stress-free as possible.
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted, including severe decay, damage or trauma, crowding, infection, or gum disease. Our dental team will carefully evaluate your situation and recommend a tooth extraction only as a last resort when all other treatment options have been exhausted. At Catalina Dental, we use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure that the tooth extraction process is as comfortable and painless as possible. We will also provide you with post-operative care instructions to help you heal quickly and effectively.Root Canal
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from a tooth's root canal. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected, it can cause severe pain and may even lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Our dental professionals at Catalina Dental are trained in performing root canal therapy to save your tooth and prevent further damage. During the procedure, we will remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the root canal, and then fill and seal it with a special material to prevent further infection.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth, usually in the late teenage years or early twenties. In many cases, there is not enough room in the mouth for these teeth to fully emerge, leading to impaction, infection, and other dental problems. Our smile experts specialize in wisdom teeth extraction to help prevent these issues. Our dental team will carefully evaluate your situation and recommend extraction if necessary. We use the latest techniques and anesthesia options to ensure that the procedure is as painless and comfortable as possible.
At Catalina Dental, we believe that prevention is always better than extraction. Our dental professionals are committed to helping you maintain your oral health and prevent the need for tooth extraction whenever possible. Through regular checkups, cleanings, and preventive care, we can help you keep your natural teeth for a lifetime. However, in cases where tooth extraction is necessary, we use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure that the process is as painless and comfortable as possible.
