At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, our dentist and team perform tooth extractions as a crucial step in preparing for dental implants. When a tooth is damaged beyond repair or no longer supports oral health, extraction may be necessary to create a stable foundation for future implant placement. We ensure that this process is handled with care, precision and attention to your comfort.
Extractions are planned using digital diagnostics and clinical evaluation to minimize discomfort and preserve the surrounding bone and soft tissue. Our goal is to support a smooth transition from extraction to implant, helping patients regain both function and confidence in their smile.
What to Expect During the Extraction Process
The process begins with a detailed consultation and evaluation of the affected tooth. Our dentist and team use imaging and assessment tools to determine whether extraction is required and how it fits into the broader implant treatment plan. When extraction is recommended, we explain the process clearly and address any questions or concerns in advance.
On the day of the procedure, the area is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. In many cases, the tooth is removed in a single, clean motion using minimally invasive techniques. If necessary, bone grafting material may be placed in the socket to preserve bone density and prepare for implant placement in the future.
Post-operative care is essential for healing. Patients receive clear instructions on how to manage the area, including how to reduce swelling, maintain hygiene and avoid complications. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing and prepare for the next phase of implant treatment.
A Clear Path Toward a Stronger Smile
Tooth extractions performed for implant preparation are part of a larger restorative strategy. Removing a compromised tooth allows us to protect surrounding teeth and create the right conditions for long-term success with dental implants.
Our dentist and team focus on providing care that is medically sound and emotionally supportive. We help patients understand how each step contributes to improved function, aesthetics and overall oral health.
