Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is too damaged, infected, or fractured to be predictably restored. At Green California Dental Group in Burbank, Dr. Varand Kerikorian performs both simple and surgical extractions using modern imaging, minimally invasive techniques, and comfort-focused care to protect surrounding tissue and promote smooth recovery.

Safe, Conservative Removal When Preservation Is No Longer Possible

Trusted Tooth Extraction in Burbank

We evaluate each tooth thoroughly to determine whether extraction is the most appropriate treatment. When a tooth cannot be saved through restorative care or root canal therapy, removal helps eliminate infection, relieve pain, and protect overall oral health. Our focus is on completing the procedure safely, efficiently, and with minimal discomfort.

Tooth Extraction Services in Burbank

Simple Tooth Extraction

Simple extractions are used when the tooth is fully visible and can be removed without surgical access. Using local anesthesia and precise instrumentation, we gently loosen the tooth and remove it with minimal trauma to surrounding bone and tissue.

Surgical Tooth Extraction

Surgical extraction is required when the tooth is fractured, partially erupted, infected below the gum line, or weakened by structural damage. We use CBCT or digital X-rays to map root position and perform the procedure using minimally invasive surgical techniques designed for safety and predictable outcomes.

Infection and Abscess Management

When a tooth causes swelling, abscess formation, or persistent pain, removal helps prevent the spread of infection. We stabilize the area, remove the compromised tooth, and provide follow-up guidance for long-term oral health.

Replacement Options After Extraction

If needed, we discuss next steps such as implants, bridges, or partial dentures to restore function and maintain proper spacing. Planning replacement early helps protect bone structure and prevent shifting.

What Our Clients Say

Tooth Extraction FAQ

When is a tooth extraction necessary?

Extraction is recommended when a tooth is too damaged, infected, or structurally compromised to be restored predictably with a filling, crown, or root canal.

What is the difference between simple and surgical extraction?

Simple extraction removes teeth that are fully visible and accessible. Surgical extraction is used for fractured, partially erupted, or infected teeth that require surgical access.

Will the procedure hurt?

Local anesthesia prevents discomfort during treatment. Nitrous oxide is available for added comfort. Some soreness afterward is normal.

Can a tooth be replaced after extraction?

Yes. Options include dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures. Planning replacement early helps preserve bone and maintain alignment.

How do I know if I need surgery instead of a simple extraction?

Digital imaging shows if the tooth is impacted, fractured, or below the gum line. We determine the safest and most predictable method during your exam.
