There are times when a tooth simply can’t be saved – no matter how much we want it to stay. At Taylorsville Implant Center, Dr. Jose Hernandez-Gil handles every extraction with care and precision. The goal isn’t just to take a tooth out; it’s to make sure you’re comfortable, safe, and pain-free from start to finish.
Tooth extraction means removing a tooth that’s too damaged, decayed, or infected to heal. It may sound stressful, but most people are surprised by how smooth and gentle the process feels. Thanks to modern numbing techniques, you’ll barely feel a thing. Dr. Hernandez-Gil and his team take the time to explain each step and make sure you leave knowing exactly how to take care of yourself afterward.
Before anything starts, Dr. Hernandez-Gil will take a good look at your tooth and X-rays to see what’s really going on. He’ll walk you through the plan so there are no surprises.
Once you’re ready, the area is numbed completely – you’ll feel some pressure, but not pain. Most patients are surprised by how quick it goes.
Once numb, Dr. Hernandez-Gil gently loosens the damaged tooth and carefully lifts it from its socket using specialized tools to minimize discomfort and preserve surrounding bone and tissue.
Gauze is placed over the site to control bleeding and begin healing. In some cases, dissolvable sutures are used to close the area for added protection.
Most people find recovery surprisingly easy. You may have mild soreness for a day or two, but ice packs and over-the-counter medication usually handle it well. It’s important to eat soft foods for a short time, avoid straws, and gently rinse your mouth to keep the area clean.
If antibiotics or pain medication are prescribed, take them exactly as directed. Within a few days, you should start feeling back to normal – often faster than expected.
Tooth pain has a way of showing up at the worst possible time – late at night, on weekends, or right before a big event. When that happens, waiting for a regular appointment isn’t an option. Life doesn’t pause for tooth pain. If you’re suddenly dealing with swelling, a cracked tooth, or deep discomfort, just give us a call.
Our emergency tooth extraction service is designed to get you relief as quickly as possible – no long waits, no stress. Don’t wait, reach out to us for a quicker solution or visit our clinic!
Dr. Hernandez-Gil focuses first on easing your pain, then determining whether the tooth can be saved or needs to come out. His approach is always calm, compassionate, and patient-focused. Our goal is to bring you quick relief and prevent the issue from turning into something worse.
Removing a tooth can protect your health, but it’s also important to think about what comes next. Dr. Hernandez-Gil often talks with patients about dental implants because they’re the most natural way to bring back a full, confident smile.
An implant doesn’t just replace a missing tooth – it helps keep your jawbone strong and protects the shape of your face. Most people love that their implant looks and feels just like a real tooth. It’s a lasting fix, not a quick patch.
Because Dr. Hernandez-Gil is experienced in both implant placement and restoration, everything can be done right here in our office. If you need extra bone support, a graft can often be completed the same day as your extraction to prepare for a long-lasting result.
When you’re hurting, you don’t just want treatment – you want someone who actually listens. That’s something patients often tell us they appreciate about Taylorsville Implant Center, we take our time with people.
When someone comes in for our emergency tooth extraction service, our first goal is to stop the pain and help them relax. Broken tooth? Infection? Whatever it is, we move quickly but with compassion.
We never rush people in and out. We explain what’s happening, answer every question, and make sure you feel safe in the chair. That’s the kind of care we give to our own family, and it’s exactly what you’ll get here too.
Simple extractions average around $175; complex ones can cost up to $800. Insurance often covers part, and we’ll provide a clear estimate during your consultation.
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, smoothies, and mashed potatoes for the first week or so. Avoid hot or spicy items that may irritate the area during the first week of healing.
es, we can remove erupted wisdom teeth. If your teeth are impacted (trapped beneath the gums or bone), we’ll refer you to a trusted oral surgeon for specialized care.
Not at all! The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia, and sedation options like oral or IV sedation are available to keep you relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.
A dry socket occurs when the protective blood clot is dislodged after tooth extraction. To prevent it, avoid smoking, using straws, or any suction activity. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
es! Impacted teeth - especially canines are common. In most cases, Dr. Hernandez-Gil can safely perform the entire procedure right in our office.
Traditional restorations are available, but they don’t prevent bone loss—leading to shifting teeth, jaw shrinkage, and changes in appearance that can impact your health, diet, and overall smile stability.
We are committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care to Salt Lake City, Taylorsville, and West Valley City patients.
