What types of tooth extraction are available?
Dr. Roya Shoffet-Yaghoubian and her team at Royal Dental Practice of West Hills Los Angeles, California, are pleased to offer the following tooth extraction services:
- Simple dental extractions. With a simple extraction, the tooth is loosened with forceps and then removed. This type of extraction is usually performed when the tooth has visible crowns above the gumline
- Surgical extractions. Surgical extractions are more complex procedures that require a dentist to make an incision in the gums and remove part of the bone surrounding the tooth before extracting it. They are typically used for teeth that cannot be easily accessed by forceps, such as those impacted below the gumline or those broken off at the gumline
- Wisdom teeth removal. Impacted or partial bony impactions often require surgical extractions due to their position, which can cause difficulty accessing them with forceps. The Royal Dental Practice team has extensive experience performing wisdom teeth removals and can ensure a safe, successful procedure
Referral for complex cases
When complex removal is needed, our team at Royal Dental Practice may refer patients to a local oral surgeon to seek treatment. During the initial evaluation, she can determine if painless tooth extraction can be performed in her office or by a more skilled professional in the community.

FAQs
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Following a tooth extraction, as indicated on the oral surgery consent form, individuals may experience pain, discomfort, or swelling within the week following the surgery. It generally heals fine after the sutures are removed.
How long after tooth extraction can I eat?
You can eat immediately, but a soft diet is recommended, especially right after the tooth extraction, and post-op instructions will be provided to the patient.
What slows down healing after tooth extraction?
It all depends on every individual, but healing after any dental surgery will be delayed if the patient smokes or does not follow post-op instructions or the recommended regimen of antibiotics, etc.;
Does the nerve come out when a tooth is pulled?
No, in some rare cases, the tooth extraction may cause some irritation to the surrounding nerve tissue in the jaw bone, causing loss of sensation temporarily or sometimes permanently.
How long do tooth extractions take?
It all depends on whether the tooth is impacted, such as wisdom teeth or teeth with multiple roots or curved root tips. Due to the complexity of the procedure, impacted teeth will require a longer visit to extract.
What is the procedure for tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction involves removing a tooth that is damaged, decayed, or causing overcrowding. The process starts with a dental examination and X-rays to plan the procedure. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area. For a simple extraction, the dentist loosens the tooth with an elevator tool and removes it using forceps. Small incisions may be made to access and remove the tooth for surgical extractions. Afterward, care instructions are provided to ensure proper healing.
