Tooth Extraction in Wildomar, CA
What is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is carefully removed from its socket in the jawbone. While our experienced dentists in Wildomar always prioritize saving natural teeth, sometimes extraction becomes necessary for your overall oral health. At Wildomar Smiles Dentistry, we use advanced techniques and technology to make the procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible.

The Extraction Process
At Wildomar Smiles Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort during the extraction process. From the initial consultation to post-procedure care, we ensure a gentle and supportive experience for you.
- Examination and X-rays: We’ll thoroughly examine your mouth and take X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding bone.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring you don’t feel any pain during the procedure.
- Extraction: For simple extractions, the tooth is loosened and gently removed using specialized instruments. For surgical extractions, an incision is made in the gum tissue, and the tooth may be sectioned for easier removal.
- Post-Extraction Care: We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site, including managing bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.
Replacing Your Tooth After a Tooth Extraction
Other than removing wisdom teeth, dental extractions create excess spacing in your smile. These newly created openings can cause other teeth to drift out of alignment or wear down abnormally. Even the opposing teeth may “super-erupt” in an attempt to find a biting partner. To protect your smile’s integrity and alignment, it’s important to replace your extracted tooth at your earliest opportunity.
Common types of tooth replacements to consider include dental implants, a fixed bridge, or a partial denture. We’ll review the entire care plan with you so that you know how much time is involved and any additional fees to consider, including those related to sedation.

If you have any questions about tooth extractions, we’ve got answers.
We take every precaution to ensure a comfortable, pain-free tooth extraction experience for our patients. While there may be some discomfort or mild pain during the recovery process, most patients report little to no pain during the actual procedure.
It is important to avoid eating hard or chewy foods for the first few days, as this can irritate the extraction site and slow down the healing process. Instead, stick to soft foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as soup, yogurt, or mashed potatoes. As you begin to feel more comfortable, you can gradually reintroduce solid foods into your diet, but be sure to follow your dentist’s instructions and avoid foods that may be too hot or spicy.
It’s important to take things easy for a day or two, as rigorous activity could delay healing or trigger a dry socket.. Here are some tips to help you heal quickly and comfortably:
- Avoid Smoking and Straws: Smoking and using straws can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing. Try to avoid these for at least 48 hours.
- Rest: Take it easy for the first 24 hours after the extraction. Avoid strenuous activities that could dislodge the blood clot.
- Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to your cheek for 10-minute intervals to reduce swelling.
- Medications: Take any prescribed medications as directed to manage pain and prevent infection.
- Soft Foods: For the first few days, stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, and mashed potatoes. Avoid hot, spicy, and crunchy foods.
- Oral Hygiene: Keep your mouth clean, but be gentle around the extraction site. Avoid vigorously rinsing your mouth for the first 24 hours.
Because most simple extractions are due to issues like decay or gum disease, preventative dental care is key. Plan to treat any issues early before they spread deeper into the tooth. Earlier treatments are more conservative and help preserve healthy tooth structure.
Extractions are performed by general dentists as well as most dental specialists.
The fee for a dental extraction will depend on the type of extraction, which tooth is involved, if you’re being sedated, and other factors associated with the procedure. Generally speaking, a simple extraction may cost between $150-$500, whereas a surgical extraction begins at around $300 per tooth. To prevent any confusion, our Wildomar dentist will provide you with a detailed treatment plan outlining all fees.
