Gentle Dental Extractions Provide Immediate Pain Relief and Support a Long-lasting Healthy Smile

Despite their best intentions, your teeth sometimes need to be extracted. Wisdom, overcrowded or severely damaged teeth leave extraction as the only viable option. However, when Dr. Neal Edwards says your tooth needs removal, you have nothing to worry about. We do this minor procedure at Neal Edwards DDS in Riverside, California, with short and long-term concerns in mind. From anxiety management to tooth replacement, we have everything planned for you.

Why your teeth may need extraction

The best dentistry is preventative dentistry. The second-best dental care in minimal intervention dentistry. However, sometimes, you need dental extraction to preserve your oral health. When you need a dental extraction, you have nothing to worry about. Our caring dental team offers safe yet effective dental extraction in our comfortable, inviting office when faced with the following:

Impacted wisdom teeth
Severely damaged or decayed teeth
Severe gum disease (periodontitis)
Overcrowding
If your tooth impedes the effectiveness of orthodontics

What to expect during dental extraction

Tooth extraction involves removing your entire tooth — the crown and the root(s) — from its socket in the jawbone. We recommend simple extraction if your tooth has broken through the gum line. The procedure is done after numbing your gums for maximum comfort. Our dental team uses special tools and techniques to loosen and pull your tooth from the socket.

A surgical extraction is required for impacted wisdom teeth or teeth broken at the gum line level. This procedure is more invasive than a simple extraction, but our dental team takes the utmost care to optimize your comfort. After numbing your gums, we incise your gums and bone to access the trapped tooth. Our dental team breaks the impacted tooth into pieces for easier removal. After pulling out every piece of your tooth, we clean, sanitize, and suture the surgical site to pave the way for healing.

Before letting you leave, our dental team equips you with aftercare tips for an event-free recovery.

Erin’s Experience With Teeth Grinding

My name’s Aaron Phillips, and I’ve been a patient of Dr. Edwards for about seven years since he opened his practice. The treatment that I’ve received that’s made the biggest difference in my smile has really been addressing my grinding. So I grind a lot. I grind at night, I grind during the day. I’m clenching, and so I’ve cracked a molar and he’s had to fill another molar where I’ve just ground away. It’s down to dentin, and that’s made a big difference for me in terms of pain and coping through the day. So through his treatment, Dr. Edwards has really helped, I think, preserve and save my teeth because I just grind so hard. But he’s also helped me address pain that I have throughout the day. I have a lot of jaw pain. It creates headaches and tension in my neck, and it was really impacting my daily life.
And so with his help, I’ve been able to address that and save my teeth. So Dr. Edwards, his entire team make us feel really comfortable here in the office. They greet us, they know us, they know the details of our family and our kids. And because we’ve been patients for so long, they just really make us feel like we’re home. It’s a very comfortable environment for us. If folks are interested in getting dental treatment, I think they should choose Dr. Edwards because he’s honest and trustworthy and he’ll tell you what you need and then he’ll follow through. And his staff, they’re amazing. They make you feel very comfortable, very trusting, and they make you feel like family.

Kibra’s Experience With Dental Implants

My name is Kyra Men, and I’ve been a patient of Dr. Edwards for about 15 years now. So the treatment that I received with Dr. Edwards that made the biggest difference for me were my implants. I needed an implant. I needed a bridge. I mean, my confidence was shot because my teeth had a lot of issues. Your smile is everything. I’m an educator. I teach kids. I sing a lot, and so being nervous about what you’re going to look like on camera, it really is a thing. So I think just the implants, being able to regain that confidence, it was everything. I decided to get the bridge repair and the implants because my teeth, when he went in to try to repair them, they weren’t salvageable, and so we had to do something to replace my existing teeth. I just felt overall restored. I felt a lot more confident.
I was excited to explore the other treatments that he suggested as well. If someone is interested in a bridge repair treatment, I would say definitely choose Dr. Edwards because he takes time to make sure the small details are covered. For instance, the color of the teeth, you could tell the difference between their natural teeth and then the bridge repair. With him, that’s not the case. He takes the time to make sure that there’s a perfect color match. He maintains the integrity of the shape of the tooth, and even any of the spacing that your normal teeth would have.

Lou’s Experience With Same Day Crowns

My name is Lou Monville, and I have been a patient of Dr. Edwards for seven years. So the treatment that I received here that made the biggest difference in my smile is these two things right here. So those teeth got broken in high school, plain water polo, like a lot of my dental work, and I had some old crowns. They were getting to the point that they needed to be replaced, and so Dr. Edwards says it’s time to replace those. But what blew my mind was it was done in a day. I was in and out of here in less than two hours with two brand new teeth that actually looked like my teeth. My wife was blown away. The technology now and the technology that Dr. Edwards has is phenomenal. I was always kind of cautious with my smile, real up close with those kind of big false teeth, and now you can’t tell the difference.
My kids noticed the difference. My family noticed the difference. So it’s been probably one of the best things I’ve done in a long time. Well, if you’re going to have a crown treatment, why would I tell you to go see Dr. Edwards? First off, the attention to detail that was super important. Then two, just the technology, the ability to not have to walk around with a false tooth or a temporary, two crowns in and out, two hours. I’ve never experienced that in my life to have that repair look phenomenal, but to be done, when you walk out and you’ve got your smile, you can’t beat it.
