Comfortable, Stress-Free Extractions in Pasadena

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or causing crowding. Wisdom teeth, the third set of molars that usually erupt in the late teens or early twenties, are often removed if they become impacted, misaligned, or painful.

At Legacy Dental Pasadena, we perform both routine and complex extractions with advanced techniques to ensure maximum comfort and fast recovery. Our goal is to protect your overall oral health while making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

FAQs

Get answers to your questions about tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal.

How much does a tooth extraction cost?

The cost of a tooth extraction typically ranges from $385 to $800, depending on the complexity of the case and whether it involves a wisdom tooth. We’ll give you a clear, written estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

When is extraction necessary?

We recommend extraction when a tooth is severely decayed, fractured, impacted, or interfering with surrounding teeth. Our scans help determine if saving the tooth or removing it is the best path forward.

Why remove wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth can cause crowding, infection, decay, and damage to nearby teeth if there isn’t enough space. We evaluate your situation and explain the safest option, whether full removal or monitored retention.

Does extraction hurt?

We prioritize your comfort. With modern numbing and sedation, most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. Afterwards, we provide detailed care instructions and check-ups to minimize discomfort.

How long is recovery?

Most cases resolve within 1–2 weeks, though more complex wisdom-tooth removals may take up to 3 weeks. We supply a custom after-care plan and follow-up appointments to monitor your healing.

What about replacing the tooth?

If a permanent tooth is extracted, we’ll discuss replacement options such as implants or bridges so your bite, smile and function remain strong. Our in-house team can guide you through this seamlessly.

Dr. Sean Sunyoto makes every extraction quick, comfortable, and worry-free.
