Expert Tooth Extraction in Bakersfield
Salin Dentistry is here to help you relieve your toothache, replace a missing tooth, and lead you to optimal oral health

Permanent teeth were made to last a lifetime, but there are a number of reasons why you may need to have a tooth pulled. Tooth extraction is fairly common, and our experienced dentist is skilled in wisdom tooth evaluation, emergency tooth removal, and the dental implant procedure that usually follows teeth extraction. You may be wondering, what is a tooth extraction and how do I know if I need one? When a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay or infection, we will try to fix it with a filling, crown, or other treatment.

Sometimes, however, there is too much damage, and the tooth cannot be repaired. In a case like this, an extraction may be necessary. Many questions arise when you have dental concerns; please call us at (661) 323-1000 and schedule a consultation so we can address your concerns and questions.

Here are some of the various reasons for tooth extractions:

  • extra teeth in the mouth
  • baby teeth that don’t fall out
  • more room for teeth to shift with braces
  • painful wisdom teeth
  • decay or gum disease

A Stress-Free Dental Extraction Experience

If you have a lot of concerns and questions about what your options are for proper extraction and treatment, our team understands, and we have your back from beginning to end

Dentists and oral surgeons (dentists that have received special training for oral surgery) perform tooth removals. Some patients experience stress or anxiety when anticipating an extraction. No need to worry, our doctor and the team will put you at ease and will take the utmost care to create a pain-free experience. Before pulling the tooth, our dentist will take an x-ray of the area to help plan the best way to remove the tooth. Then, he will give you a local anesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed. If there is more than one tooth to be extracted or additional anxiety, we do offer nitrous gas, oral, or IV conscious sedation. You may be prescribed an antibiotic to be taken before and after the surgery if you have an infection, weakened immune system, or other specific medical conditions. Here at Salin Dentistry, we perform all types of extractions when necessary, including surgical extraction. Extraction of impacted wisdom teeth, however, are referred to an oral surgeon when appropriate. Our team is dedicated to providing the best dental care so we don’t leave you with a dozen questions unanswered. Communicating and getting to know our patients are among the many qualities that separate the dental care at our dental clinic from any other. There isn’t anything stopping us as your dental providers from making sure you are receiving the best care and service!
