Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the controlled removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. Extractions are categorized as either simple, involving a visible tooth loosened and removed with dental instruments, or surgical, involving a tooth that is impacted, broken, or not fully erupted. At Dentist of Redlands, Dr. Munguia evaluates each case thoroughly using digital X-rays and CBCT imaging before recommending extraction. When tooth extraction in Redlands, CA, is the best course of action, Dr. Munguia ensures the procedure is performed as gently and efficiently as possible.

Is It Right for You?
Signs You May Need a Tooth 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.

How much does a tooth extraction cost?
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.
Does insurance cover tooth extraction?
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.
Will the extraction hurt?
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.
How long does recovery take?
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.
