Simple and surgical extractions are dental procedures performed to remove teeth that are damaged, decayed, or causing other oral health issues. Simple extractions involve removing teeth that are fully visible above the gum line. Surgical extractions are more complex procedures for teeth that are not easily accessible or that have not fully erupted. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Ezzy, uses advanced technology and personalized treatment plans for both. Modern techniques keep the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Removing a severely damaged or decayed tooth prevents the spread of infection into the surrounding gums, bone, and neighboring teeth in your mouth before it can spread any further.
Extraction alleviates the pain and discomfort that a failing tooth causes, often within a day or two of the procedure being completed in the vast majority of cases.
Taking out a crowded tooth creates the space that orthodontic treatment needs to move the remaining teeth into their proper alignment into the positions where they belong.
Removing a non-restorable tooth prepares the site for dentures or dental implants, which restores both function and appearance afterward and confidence over the long term.
The tooth extraction process at Smile Tustin by Dr. Ezzy typically involves the following steps.
Request an AppointmentOur expert dentist assesses your oral health and determines whether an extraction is genuinely necessary for the tooth and for your long-term oral health.
We take digital X-rays to evaluate the tooth's position along with the soft and bony structures surrounding it in detail before anything begins.
Local anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort throughout the entire procedure from beginning to end so you feel no pain at any point.
For a simple extraction, Dr. Ezzy uses specialized tools to loosen and remove the visible tooth from its socket gently and with minimal discomfort.
Surgical extractions may require small incisions in the gum tissue, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions designed to promote proper healing.
Severe Damage — A tooth is severely damaged or decayed beyond what a filling, crown, or root canal could reasonably repair at this stage of its deterioration.
Active Infection — An infection has developed around a tooth and is at risk of spreading into the surrounding bone and tissue around the root and into the jaw.
Orthodontic Crowding — Crowding means that orthodontic treatment cannot move your teeth into proper alignment without first creating space by removing a tooth along the arch.
Impacted Tooth — A wisdom tooth is impacted or has not fully erupted, which causes pain or pressure at the very back of your mouth for a while now whenever you chew.
We use modern technology to remove problematic teeth. Discomfort stays minimal throughout.
Dr. Ezzy builds a plan around your specific situation. No two extractions are handled alike.
You leave with detailed written home care instructions. Proper healing starts with knowing what to do.
We discuss implants and dentures before you leave. The gap gets a plan, not just an extraction.
Real Patients, Real Stories
Dr. Ezzy and her staff are totally dedicated to taking care of all their patients in such a warm and professional manner. I am especially impressed with how pain-free each of my procedures have been on all of my visits...crowns, partials, tooth extractions, etc. I definitely recommend Dr. Ezzy and her team to anyone looking for a top-notch dentist within Orange County.
Had a great experience here! The staff and Dr. Ezzy are so welcoming and helpful. She’s so honest with your oral health and explaining everything in a way you can understand.
As always, totally professional and diligent. I do prefer hearing what a good job I do with my oral hygiene instead of the criticism I deserve.
I get my teeth cleaned there regularly and my hygienist Christine is absolutely the best! She is gentle, thorough, and explains my healthcare and maintenance needs in a way that is easy to understand. It is clear she loves her work and that her patients’ oral health is her top priority. Thank you Christine and Dr. Swenson for taking such good care of me!
I broke a crown on Saturday night. I called the emergency number and Dr. Swenson called me back on Sunday! He fit me in Monday morning right away. His knowledge and skill will be able to save the crown (vs. an extraction). I am so grateful for an honest and fair assessment and know exactly what my portion will be. I’ve already recommended him to one of my friends who needs dental help. Based on my experience you will have a great dentist and great dental work if you visit his office.
Dr Ezzy and her staff are knowledgeable, cheerful & attentive ! It’s a pleasure to go to the dentist when it’s Dr. Ezzy’s office!

A simple extraction removes a tooth that is fully visible above the gum line. A surgical extraction is more complex and is used for teeth that are not easily accessible or have not fully erupted.
Rinse with warm salt water after eating and throughout the day to reduce swelling, and take all medication as directed. Chew only on the opposite side and eat a soft diet for the first few days.
Following your written home care instructions closely is the best way to reduce that risk. Our team goes through every instruction with you before you leave the office.
The cost depends on whether the extraction is simple or surgical and which tooth is involved. Our team reviews the full fee with you before the procedure is scheduled.
Most dental plans cover a portion of extraction costs, since the procedure is restorative. Our front office will verify your benefits ahead of your appointment.
