Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While we always strive to preserve your natural teeth, an extraction is sometimes the best way to protect your overall oral health. Extractions may be necessary for a variety of reasons, including severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or damage beyond repair. In each case, Dr. Shahrokh carefully evaluates your tooth to confirm that removal is the right choice and to keep you comfortable throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers
Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (760) 232-8878.
Is tooth extraction painful?
We use local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring your comfort during the extraction. You may experience some discomfort after the anesthesia wears off, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Can I eat normally after a tooth extraction?
It is important to avoid eating hard or chewy foods for the first few days, as this can irritate the extraction site and slow down the healing process. Instead, stick to soft foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as soup, yogurt, or mashed potatoes. As you begin to feel more comfortable, you can gradually reintroduce solid foods into your diet, but be sure to follow your dentist's instructions and avoid foods that may be too hot or spicy.
Can I replace a tooth after extraction?
Yes, options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures can replace missing teeth and restore function.
Will my insurance cover a tooth extraction in Encinitas, CA?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of tooth extraction. Our team can help you understand your coverage and discuss payment options.
What types of tooth extractions are there?
There are two main types: simple extractions and surgical extractions. Simple extractions remove visible teeth with gentle, straightforward care and minimal recovery time, while surgical extractions handle teeth that are broken, impacted, or require more complex techniques for a safe, successful outcome.
How much does tooth extraction in Encinitas, CA cost?
The cost of tooth extraction depends on a few factors, including the scope of your treatment plan and whether additional imaging or procedures are needed. During your visit, we'll walk you through a clear, itemized estimate before anything begins — no surprises.
