About Our
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure used to remove a tooth that is damaged, infected, impacted, severely decayed, or causing pain. When a tooth cannot be saved with restorative treatment, removing it can help protect your oral health, prevent infection from spreading, and relieve discomfort. The procedure is performed with patient comfort in mind, and our team provides clear aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
With same-day appointments available and most PPO plans accepted, getting the care you need has never been easier. Our teams at Elite Smiles of La Jolla and Elite Dental Care in Chula Vista serve patients throughout La Jolla, Chula Vista, and the greater San Diego County area.
