Tooth Extractions
The process of removing a problem tooth has evolved, and the most sophisticated version of the procedure can be found at Sonterra Dental. If you have a tooth that’s decayed or damaged beyond repair, our tooth extraction team can use every tool at our disposal to remove it, causing you as little hassle and pain as possible. Our Stone Oak dentists use advanced dentistry techniques befitting an office focused on patient comfort and education. We don’t pull teeth. We provide comprehensive tooth extraction care.
Once a tooth is removed, replacing it helps protect your bite, your neighboring teeth and the bone underneath. A dental implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth: a titanium post replaces the root, and a custom crown sits on top. We plan every implant with 3D imaging, and some patients need a bone graft first so the implant has a strong foundation. Explore dental implants at Sonterra Dental to see if one is right for you.
Sonterra Dental cultivates an atmosphere of elegance that might not seem to match the process of pulling a tooth. However, our tooth extractions are just as streamlined, tech-supported, and comfortable as our other general dentistry services. Using digital scanners and x-rays, we get a thorough view of your teeth and jaw. These guide our dentists to the best way to extract your tooth. Scans also provide us with insight into why you need a tooth removed, which informs our aftercare.
Once we do the procedure, we use tools like the DentalVibe® injection system and sedation dentistry to ensure you aren’t anxious and won’t feel anything other than pressure. Once the tooth is removed, we give you detailed instructions and remedies to ensure you feel prepared for post-op life. Finally, we cap off extractions with excellent continuing care like Invisalign®, cosmetic dentistry, or restorative dentistry to fill the gap.
Whether it’s due to severe infection, trauma, or unbearable pain, our San Antonio dentist office is prepared to provide prompt and effective emergency dental treatment. Our staff can perform emergency tooth extractions right away if leaving in your natural tooth puts your health in danger. When you seek emergency care, you need results right away, and we oblige you by alleviating your discomfort and removing the problem tooth without delay.
If you find yourself in urgent need of tooth removal—or even if you just suspect you do—do not hesitate to contact us for an emergency consultation.
Your wisdom teeth are the last teeth to emerge in your mouth. Because you already have your other adult teeth, your wisdom teeth sometimes don’t have enough space to erupt properly. Yours might also be situated wrong, coming in sideways instead of up. Wisdom teeth like this are considered impacted and need to be removed.
Our general dentistry experience and tooth extraction expertise are both put to use here. We take regular scans to monitor your wisdom teeth as they come in, judging the best time to remove them. When the time is right, we perform an extraction that will safeguard your other teeth.
From the tranquil ambiance of our office to the expert care delivered by our team, Sonterra Dental creates an environment where your comfort and health are our utmost priorities. Whether it’s the strategic removal of wisdom teeth or addressing an emergency extraction, you can trust in our general and emergency dentists to transform what might be a daunting experience into a positive, sophisticated, and reassuring process.
