Dr. Zadeh performs two general types of tooth extractions in Beverly Hills. The first is a simple extraction where a local anesthetic is used. We remove the tooth by pulling it out from above the gumline. The process is quick, and most patients' complaints stem from the pressure and pinch, but minimal discomfort exists. You may also opt for oral or IV sedation if it is deemed necessary due to sensitivity or anxiety as well. It is also an option if you need several teeth removed through simple extraction in a single visit.



If the tooth has broken off below the gumline or is impacted, Dr. Zadeh may need to perform a second type of extraction called a surgical extraction. During a surgical tooth extraction near you, you will likely be given an IV-based sedative to help you relax. When you are relaxing, Dr. Zadeh will make a small incision in the gum and remove the tooth.


In most cases, removing a tooth is a minor procedure that can be performed during a single office visit. You will likely be given either localized anesthesia or varying levels of sedation. While you will feel minimal discomfort during the procedure, you can expect some minor discomfort after the procedure, and it is recommended that you rest, eat soft foods, and avoid smoking for a few days after your extraction. It is also recommended you take a low-dose, over-the-counter painkiller.



Once your gums have healed after your dental extraction in Beverly Hills, you can choose from one of several options to replace your tooth. The most basic option is a dental bridge, a dental appliance attached to the adjacent teeth.
