General Dentistry — Tooth Extractions Rio Rancho, NM
Comfort-first care when removal is the healthiest choice
We prioritize saving natural teeth. When extraction is best—due to deep decay, advanced infection, fractures, or crowding—we focus on a gentle procedure, smooth healing, and a plan to restore your smile.
When extraction makes sense
Sometimes removing a tooth protects overall health and prevents further complications. We discuss all options first and answer every question before treatment begins.
What to expect
We numb the area fully and keep you comfortable throughout. Your dentist removes the tooth as conservatively as possible and places any recommended medications or sutures. You’ll leave with written aftercare instructions and a clear next-step plan.
Healing & aftercare
Rest the day of your procedure. Keep the area clean as directed, avoid smoking and straws initially, and stick to soft foods before easing back to normal eating. Call us if you have increasing pain, swelling, or bleeding.
Planning the replacement
We’ll review timing and options to restore function and appearance, such as bridges, dentures, or implant-supported solutions. A surgical specialist places implants; our office designs and restores the final tooth for a seamless result.
Real Stories, Real Smiles
We’re honored by the trust our patients place in us. Read how same-day crowns saved time, how gentle laser therapy eased recovery, and how thoughtful guidance made dentistry feel simple again.
