Protect Your Oral Health With a Tooth Extraction in Oxnard

No patient wants to hear they need a tooth extraction in Oxnard. At Anacapa Dental Art Institute, we have four in-house specialists who will focus on doing what's necessary for you to avoid this procedure. However, if one infected tooth could potentially put other healthy teeth at risk, removal may be the best way to keep your smile intact. If we determine it's essential, you'll benefit from:

Advanced dental technology, such as digital X-rays and digital scanners, for a smoother procedure
Dental sedation, including the option of general anesthesia if you feel particularly nervous about treatment
Same-day appointments whenever possible if you are dealing with a dental emergency
Our in-house lab for lifelike replacement teeth that blend in with your smile

Don't ignore pain in your mouth. See us right away if you suspect you may need to have a tooth removed. Contact us for an appointment.

Remove Wisdom Teeth Before They Become Problematic

If you are between the ages of 17 to 25, you probably have noticed that your wisdom teeth are coming in. These third molars are the last of our adult teeth. Unfortunately, they can cause problems, especially if they don't erupt properly. Fortunately, our dentists can help. We can extract wisdom teeth, including impacted ones.

This procedure is a smooth process that can be done in a single appointment. It's important that you feel comfortable while you are with us. If you are nervous, we offer sedation options to relieve your anxiety, including general anesthesia.

Remove Wisdom Teeth Before They Become Problematic

When Possible, Our Team Will Help You Avoid an Extraction

We strive to avoid extractions whenever possible. Before we move forward with removing a tooth, we focus on treating the root of the problem. For example, if an infection in your gumline is threatening your teeth, our periodontist can treat the disease, even in its advanced stages. Or if an infection has reached the pulp of the tooth, our in-house endodontist can perform a safe and gentle root canal that keeps your tooth intact.

Unfortunately, when a tooth is too damaged or an infection puts your overall oral health at risk, an extraction may be necessary. Once the tooth has been removed, one of our two in-house prosthodontists can replace your tooth with restorations such as:

Dental Crown With an Implant - You can replace a single tooth with a dental crown by pairing it with an implant.
Standard Dental Bridge - A bridge anchors to nearby teeth and can replace one or several teeth in a row.
Implant-Supported Bridge - You can attach a bridge to implants instead of removing dental structure from healthy teeth for the procedure.

Both Dr. Jivraj and Dr. Giraldo are experts in restoring teeth. Dr. Jivraj has written a textbook about implants used by dentists around the world. Graftless Solutions for the Edentulous Patient is now in its second edition. His expertise is sought after by fellow professionals, and he teaches courses for Nobel Biocare. Meanwhile, Dr. Giraldo has instructed graduate students in complex procedures such as implant placements.

If you are concerned you may need a tooth extraction in Oxnard, call Anacapa Dental Art Institute today for an appointment. You can also schedule online if you prefer. Saturday appointments are available upon request.

Dr. Jivraj and his staff are the absolute BEST in the industry and we are so lucky they're in practice here, locally, in Ventura County. They worked with me on every aspect of my dental journey. I couldn't have asked for anything more. They're upfront, forthright, and honest. I can't recommend anyone to a better dental group than Anacapa Dental Art Institute. You'll be amazed at how they can change your image of self. Smile again without any worry of what others will think, and give you back your self-confidence.

I have both upper and lower complete implants and couldn't be happier. Dr. J and his assistant Laura are amazing. My appointments always started on time, there was minimal pain, and they always called at home to check in on me. The office is equipped with incredible state-of-the-art...

Barbara J.

Dr. Jivraj is a perfectionist, top-notch, and he expects nothing less from his team. Point blank, he's the best. He laid out a plan. He said, "In 6-8 months I'll have you crunching on an apple." I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely comfortable. His wonderful financing department came up with a plan that was affordable for me, and got me interest-free financing for up to 2 years. Not once throughout this process was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and they treated me like family.

Steven W.

This place is professional, comprehensive, and nice. Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning,...

Anthony V.

I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness from the employees at the front desk. They were joyful and made you feel immediately at ease. They then took me on a tour of the facility. The rooms were super clean and all equipment is state of the art. I was introduced to pretty much everyone on staff and they were all happy and friendly. After having X-rays, I then met with the dentist. He was very knowledgeable and I agreed with everything he discussed in regards to the problems with my teeth.

Denise D.

Traveling from overseas and broke my dentures the day before departure. Once in LA, I started looking for a dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. J. I was my lucky day:) after crossing the threshold of Anacapa I felt at home. I couldn't believe it but the Dr. took my dentures and fixed them, so just saw my desperation saw me , not only my money. the tears poured into my eyes by themselves. After this we talked about options, yes, it's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Today I have lower fixed dentures and love them.

How long does it take a tooth removal to heal?

For most standard tooth removals, you can expect the extraction site to heal in about seven to 10 days. You can play a big role in the actual healing time, however. Following your aftercare instructions and limiting your physical exertion for a few days will help you heal faster and more comfortably.

Does tooth removal hurt?

Your comfort is a high priority for us. We'll do all we can to make sure that your extraction is as comfortable as possible. We'll thoroughly numb the area around the tooth before doing any work. If you're nervous about your procedure, you can always opt for IV sedation to put you in a dreamy state or general anesthesia, so you can sleep through the procedure while we take care of your extraction.

When is tooth removal necessary?

It's usually best to keep a tooth in place as long as possible. However, if a tooth is too diseased or damaged to save with a restorative procedure like a root canal or dental crown, we will suggest removal. Sometimes teeth need to be removed to make room for dentures or other restorations. We may also recommend extraction prior to orthodontic treatment. Or if your wisdom teeth are coming in, we can remove them before they become problematic to your smile or if they have already impacted other teeth.
