TOOTH EXTRACTION - ALBUQUERQUE, NM

If you experience constant tooth pain, have severe tooth decay, have a broken tooth or would like to replace your teeth with a full arch solution, you may need tooth extraction of one or more teeth. When we perform a tooth extraction, we will numb your mouth with local anesthetic and provide sedation if necessary so you experience a painless, anxiety-free procedure. Most patients tell us they simply feel a slight pressure at the tooth extraction location. Since Dr. Lopez is a trained and experienced periodontist, his understanding of the mouth and jaw surpasses many other dentists. This ensures that your tooth extraction is performed expertly, with minimal impact to surrounding oral structures, like bone, nerves and other teeth.

After tooth extraction, we often provide a bone graft to fill in the empty space where the roots once occupied. This allows your jaw to heal properly, retaining its shape and volume. Additionally, our expertise allows us to often remove teeth and place dental implants within the same day, cutting down on your appointments and allowing you to achieve a complete smile sooner.
