Tooth Extractions at Dentiland in Tijuana, MX

Dentiland, in Tijuana MX, understands that having a tooth extracted can be scary. Sometimes, removing a single tooth is required to maintain your oral health. Our compassionate and experienced team, led by Dr. Licon, provides comfortable and stress-free tooth extractions. Whether it is due to an infection, a crowded jaw, or a wisdom tooth that has become impacted, we are dedicated to making the process as painless and easy as possible.

Why Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

For a variety of reasons, tooth extractions are necessary. Although dental care aims to keep your natural teeth as long as possible, extractions are sometimes necessary for oral health. There are many reasons why teeth need to be extracted.



Severe Tooth Decay: If the cavity is too big to be filled or treated with a root canal, extraction may be necessary to stop the infection from spreading.

Gum Disease: Advanced gum diseases can cause teeth to loosen, so extraction is the best way to stop the infection from spreading.

Crowded Mouth: Some teeth may have to be removed to make room for orthodontic treatment. This is especially true when braces or other aligning procedures are used.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted or have not fully emerged can cause pain or infection. They may also damage adjacent teeth. Removing the wisdom teeth can help prevent complications in the future.

Abscess or Infection: If an abscess cannot be treated with antibiotics or a root canal, an extraction is the best option to stop it from spreading.

Broken or Damaged Teeth. Teeth that have been severely damaged or broken due to trauma will need to be removed if they can't be repaired.

The Tooth Extraction Process

Dentiland strives to make the extraction of your teeth as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Dr. Licon employs the latest techniques for a painless procedure. What to expect from a tooth extraction is outlined below:

  • Initial Consultation

    Dr. Licon will perform a complete oral examination before the extraction. The evaluation will include a review of your medical history, a physical examination of the affected region, and X-rays, which are taken to determine the position and condition. This allows Dr. Licon to determine the best extraction method.

  • Anesthesia

    We will numb the surrounding area of the tooth with a local anesthetic. We offer sedation for more complex extractions or if your anxiety is causing you to feel anxious. Dr. Licon can discuss the best option for anesthesia with you based on your preferences and the complexity of the procedure.

  • The Extraction Process

    After Dr. Licon has numbed the area, he will carefully remove the tooth. The tooth is gently removed after it has been loosened using special instruments. For more complex extractions, Dr. Licon may need to make small cuts in the gum tissue. This may be necessary if the tooth has a strong root system or is impacted. The extraction will be performed safely and efficiently.

  • Post-Extraction care

    Dr. Licon provides instructions for aftercare to ensure your recovery is as smooth as possible. These instructions will include managing discomfort, minimizing swelling, and preventing complications.

Aftercare and Recovery

Although tooth extractions can be simple procedures, taking care of your mouth as you heal is important. Here are some tips that will help you recover quickly:

  • How to Manage Pain and Swelling

    It is normal to feel some discomfort or pain after the procedure. You can manage it with pain relievers like ibuprofen or by taking medication prescribed by Dr. Licon. If you experience swelling at the extraction site, apply an icepack to the area every 15-20 minutes for the first 24 hours.

  • Avoiding Complications

    Follow Dr. Licon’s instructions for aftercare to avoid complications like dry sockets. This can happen if the blood clot is dislodged at the extraction site. Avoid using a straw, smoking, or touching the extraction area with your tongue or fingers.

  • Eating & Drinking

    Stick to liquids and soft foods for the first 24 hours after extraction. Hot drinks and foods can cause bleeding. Avoid chewing on the extracted side until the wound has healed.

  • Oral Hygiene

    It is essential to keep your mouth clean for healing. You can brush your teeth gently for the first few weeks, but not at the extraction site. After 24 hours, you can rinse with warm, salty water to reduce bacteria and promote healing.

  • Follow Up Appointment

    A follow-up appointment is sometimes necessary to ensure the wound heals properly and remove any stitches that may have been applied. Dr. Licon monitors your progress during the follow-up and answers any questions you may have.

Types of Tooth Extractions

Simple Extractions
A simple extraction is usually performed when the tooth can be easily removed using forceps and is visible above the gumline. The recovery period for this type of extraction is usually quick.


Surgical Extractions
A surgical extraction is sometimes required when a tooth has broken, been impacted, or not fully emerged. The procedure requires a small cut in the gum tissue, and the bone surrounding the tooth may be removed. Wisdom teeth and severely damaged teeth are commonly extracted surgically.

Tooth Replacement Options After Extraction

It is important to replace the tooth that has been extracted. This will help maintain the health of your mouth. The most common options for tooth replacement include:


Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing missing or damaged teeth. The implant is placed surgically into the jawbone to serve as a foundation for a denture, bridge or crown. Implants are a permanent, natural-looking option that preserves your bone structure. They also prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.


Bridges
A dental bridge fills in the gap caused by missing teeth. It is attached to adjacent teeth and is an excellent option for patients who may not qualify for dental implants.



Dentures
Dentures are removable and can replace several missing teeth. Although they may be difficult to adapt to, they are an effective way to restore function and appearance.
