At Dentist of Redlands, Dr. Munguia evaluates each case thoroughly using digital X-rays and CBCT imaging before recommending extraction.

If you’re experiencing any of the following, tooth extraction in Redlands, CA, may be the most appropriate next step for your oral health.
Severe Tooth Decay: The decay has progressed so deeply into the tooth that a filling, crown, or root canal can no longer save it.
Advanced Gum Disease: Significant bone and tissue loss has loosened the tooth to the point where it can no longer be stabilized.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: One or more wisdom teeth are trapped beneath the gumline, causing pain, pressure, or crowding.
Dental Trauma: A tooth has been broken or fractured in a way that makes restoration structurally impossible or impractical.
Overcrowding: Too many teeth are competing for limited space, and removal is needed to support orthodontic alignment.
Infection Risk: An abscess or active infection poses a threat to surrounding teeth and tissue if the tooth is not removed promptly.
Dr. Munguia approaches every extraction with careful, deliberate technique to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissue and support a faster, more comfortable recovery.
Our CBCT and digital X-ray technology gives Dr. Munguia a full three-dimensional view of your tooth and jaw before extraction, reducing complications and improving surgical accuracy.
We offer oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide to help anxious patients stay calm and relaxed, making even a difficult extraction feel manageable from start to finish.
Been going here for several months now and wow, love the friendly, warm staff and professional work. Initially, I came here for a simple tooth extraction but after further examination, the dentist saw 2 cavities and a cracked tooth. This led to several trips to their office, each one with a friendly text notification of an upcoming appointment the day prior to the procedure. Each experience has been a pleasant & professional one with the utmost concern for any pain or discomfort. The tooth extraction was a breeze and I barely felt anything. Elena did deep cleaning on my dentures 3 times and is such a sweetheart per experience, concerned for any pain and answering all my questions. This place has definitely helped me lose fear in going to the dentist 🙏
I have a molar with a large filling that came out. I went to another dentist and they said the tooth needed to be extracted. Something didn’t feel right about that so I called Dr. Lee’s office and they were able to get me in. Dr. Lee and her staff are very kind and they explain everything. She was able to save my back molar. I can’t recommend then enough. I am not fond of dentists, however can’t wait to go back and get the rest of the work I need done. Thank you Dr.Lee.
I visited this Nomi Lee Dental Office for dental work since December 2, 2022. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Natalie was doing a great job in deep cleaning. My whole teeth was very clean and pain free. Dr. Tarr was doing my extraction and bone graft. The procedure was performed perfectly and pain free. I am so satisfied and happy with my dental work . I highly recommended this dental clinic.
★★★★★ I recently completed orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nomi Lee, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the entire treatment process. She made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and the results exceeded my expectations. I also want to give a big thank you to her office Manager Erika, who helped me with my first appointment, linking my insurance and making every appointment smooth. Erika is a huge help when it comes to getting started with my dental treatment. If you’re looking for a general dentist and orthodontist who is skilled, kind, and has an amazing staff, I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team. Five stars all the way!
I had another great experience at Dr. Nomi Lee’s office. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dr. Lee is professional, kind, and truly cares about her patients’ well-being. I came in for a check-up and cleaning, and as always, my hygienist Yelena was fantastic—friendly, personable, and incredibly thoughtful. She always checks in to make sure I’m comfortable and takes extra care to ensure nothing is painful. It really makes a difference to be treated with that level of attentiveness. Erika in the front office is always looking out for my best interest. She never fails to have a positive demeanor. The entire staff is accommodating and kind, and they make going to the dentist a positive and stress-free experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team to anyone looking for excellent dental care with a personal touch.
Very friendly and profesional atmosfere .

My first visit was very brief, a quick examination and X-rays. I appreciated how clean and organized everything was. It was very efficient experience!
Yelena is amazing. Thorough, kind and the consummate professional.

The front staff are always a pleasure, providing great customer service. I feel I get quality work done here whether it is a cleaning, X-rays, or something more serious. So glad this dentist was recommended to me.
Yelena is wonderful with my mom, who has Alzheimer's. She is kind and gentle and patient with her. Thank you

Cost depends on whether the extraction is simple or surgical and the complexity of the case. Dr. Munguia will provide a full cost breakdown during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Most dental insurance plans cover tooth extractions, at least in part, particularly when the procedure is medically necessary. Our team will review your benefits and help you understand your out-of-pocket responsibility before your appointment.
The area is thoroughly numbed before treatment, so most patients feel pressure but not pain during the procedure. Any discomfort afterward is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Most patients feel significantly better within two to three days. Full healing of the extraction site generally takes one to two weeks, and Dr. Munguia will provide specific aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
