Atraumatic Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal

Gentle, Safe Tooth Removal in Thousand Oaks, CA

What Is Atraumatic Tooth Extraction?

Atraumatic tooth extraction is a minimally invasive approach to removing damaged, infected, or impacted teeth while preserving as much surrounding bone and tissue as possible. While saving natural teeth is always the priority, extraction may be necessary when a tooth cannot be restored or when wisdom teeth cause pain, infection, or crowding.

FAQ

Common questions about atraumatic tooth extractions & wisdom teeth removal in Thousands Oaks, CA

When is a tooth extraction necessary?

A tooth extraction is necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, fractured beyond repair, infected, or impacted. Extraction may also be recommended if advanced periodontal disease has compromised the supporting bone. At our Thousand Oaks dental office, all restorative options are evaluated first before recommending removal of a natural tooth.

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?

Wisdom teeth removal is typically comfortable with proper anesthesia. Modern techniques and careful surgical planning help minimize discomfort during the procedure. Mild swelling or soreness afterward is normal and usually manageable with prescribed aftercare instructions.

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Initial healing after a tooth extraction typically takes a few days, while full tissue healing may take one to two weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Following post-operative instructions reduces the risk of complications such as dry socket.

What can I eat after wisdom teeth removal?

After wisdom teeth removal, soft foods such as yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, and soups are recommended during the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that may irritate the surgical site or disrupt healing.

Are there risks associated with tooth extractions?

Tooth extractions are common and generally safe, but minor risks such as swelling, bleeding, infection, or dry socket can occur. Dr. Amy Nabi carefully evaluates each case and uses precise surgical techniques to minimize complications and support smooth healing.

What are my options after a tooth extraction?

After a tooth extraction, replacement options may include a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture. Replacing a missing tooth helps prevent shifting, maintain bite alignment, and preserve jawbone structure for long-term oral health.
