Tooth Extractions in San Marino, CA
Gentle, Conservative Care When a Tooth Needs to Come Out
Thoughtful, Whole-Health Dentistry — Even When Extraction Is Needed
At the San Marino office of Dr. Fary Yassamy, DDS, tooth extractions are always a last resort. But when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to save, we provide gentle, precise care with your comfort — and your long-term health — in mind.
With advanced training in neuromuscular and whole-health dentistry, Dr. Yassamy helps patients from San Marino and Alhambra navigate extractions with a clear plan, minimal discomfort, and trusted support every step of the way.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
We recommend extraction only when all other options — like restorative treatments — have been ruled out. You may need a tooth removed if:
- It’s severely decayed or infected
- There’s advanced bone loss or gum disease
- The tooth is fractured below the gumline
- It’s impacted (common with wisdom teeth)
- It’s blocking orthodontic treatment or healthy development
- It's a baby tooth that hasn't fallen out naturally
Every decision is made with care, and we’ll explain your options fully before moving forward.
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction
We prioritize your comfort from start to finish. Depending on the case, Dr. Yassamy may recommend:
- Simple extraction for visible teeth using gentle techniques
- Surgical extraction for teeth that are impacted or broken
We use modern local anesthetics and calming techniques to minimize discomfort. If you're anxious about the procedure, we may also discuss sedation options.
After your procedure, we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions and remain available for any follow-up questions or concerns.
What Comes Next? Planning for Tooth Replacement
Missing teeth can lead to shifting, bite issues, and jawbone loss. After extraction, we’ll help you explore long-term solutions, including:
- Dental implants
- Implant-supported dentures
- Bridges or partial dentures
Dr. Yassamy’s goal is to restore both function and aesthetics — so you can smile and eat comfortably again.
