Dental extractions Price starting at $80
The dental extraction process involves removing a damaged or impacted tooth from its socket. It is a standard dental procedure performed by an oral surgeon or a dentist. The method may be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the extraction. The extracted tooth is replaced with a dental implant or a bridge to restore oral function and aesthetics. After the extraction, proper care is necessary to ensure true healings.

Dental Extraction Process
Dentists perform an extraction process to remove damaged, decayed, or impacted teeth. Our experienced dentists use the latest techniques and equipment at America Dental Costa Rica to ensure a comfortable and successful extraction process.
The first step is to numb the area with a local anesthetic. This ensures that the patient will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Next, the dentist will loosen the tooth using special tools and gently remove it from the socket.
After the extraction process, the dentist will place gauze over the socket to control bleeding and promote healing. It is essential to follow the post-operative instructions given by the dentist to encourage proper healing and prevent complications.
At America Dental Costa Rica, we understand that the tooth extraction process can be stressful. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure our patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their visit. With our commitment to patient care and high-quality dental services, you can trust us to provide a smooth and successful dental extraction process experience.

An extraction process that removes damaged or decayed teeth can help maintain good oral hygiene and prevent further issues.
When a tooth is extracted, it can be replaced with a dental implant or bridge, improving the mouth's functionality.
Extracting impacted or misshapen teeth can
improve the appearance of your
smile.
Extracting infected teeth can prevent the spread of bacteria to other parts of the mouth and reduce the risk of severe health problems.
Extracting teeth can create space for orthodontic treatment, allowing for proper alignment of the remaining teeth.
Why do I need to do this treatment?
A dental extraction may be necessary for various reasons, such as severe tooth decay, infection, gum disease, crowding, orthodontic treatment, or to make room for dental implants. Extracting damaged or impacted teeth can also improve oral health and prevent further problems from developing.
In some cases, the extraction process may also be recommended to alleviate pain or discomfort caused by a damaged tooth. It is essential to have a professional dental evaluation to determine if a dental extraction is necessary and the best course of action for optimal oral health.
