Tooth Extraction for Sonoma Patients

Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction sounds dramatic, but it's often the smartest move. A tooth might be so decayed, broken, or infected that keeping it causes more harm than removing it. Others come out because of gum disease, failed root canals, or severe crowding. Once you decide to extract, the goal shifts: remove the tooth cleanly, preserve the bone underneath, and plan what comes next. Most patients are surprised how straightforward the procedure feels. We numb the area thoroughly so you won't feel pain, though you'll sense pressure and hear the process happening. Simple extractions of teeth that have erupted normally are quick and straightforward. When a tooth is impacted, broken deep below the gum line, or otherwise surgically complex (most wisdom teeth fall into this group), Dr. Bonin refers you to a trusted oral surgeon and coordinates the plan, so the more involved cases are handled by the right specialist. At Bonin Dental Care, Dr. Bonin takes a long view. Extraction is never the end; it's a pivot point. We talk about bone preservation during the procedure, healing timeline, and your options afterward. Some patients choose an implant. Others prefer a bridge. A few stay with the gap. We make sure you understand what matters to your bite, your appearance, and your long-term tooth health.
