🦷 Tooth Extractions 

At Ponce Dental, we perform tooth extractions when a tooth is too damaged to be restored or poses a risk to your oral health. This may be due to severe decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding. Extractions are done with precision and care, using local anesthesia and modern techniques to ensure a smooth experience.

Types of Extractions We Offer:

• Simple Extractions: For visible teeth that can be removed without surgical intervention.

• Surgical Extractions: For teeth that are broken, impacted, or below the gum line, requiring incisions and bone removal.

Common Reasons for Extraction:

• Severe tooth decay or infection

• Advanced gum disease

• Orthodontic preparation

• Fractured or non-restorable teeth

🧠 Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge between ages 17–25 and can cause pain, crowding, or infection if they don’t have enough room to grow properly. At Ponce Dental, we offer wisdom teeth extractions to prevent complications and maintain oral health.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

• Impaction (trapped in gums or bone)

• Pain or swelling

• Risk of infection or cysts

• Damage to adjacent teeth

Our Approach:

• Thorough evaluation with X-rays

• Personalized treatment plan

• Local or sedation anesthesia options

• Clear aftercare instructions for smooth recovery

Whether it’s a routine extraction or a complex wisdom tooth removal, our team ensures you feel informed, supported, and comfortable every step of the way.
