Tooth Extractions
Extractions are common—but at Empower Dental Glendale they’re never “routine.” Each case is digitally planned to be as comfortable and minimally invasive as possible. We may recommend removal when a tooth can’t be predictably saved or is harming neighboring tissues.
Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- Broken or fractured tooth that cannot be repaired
- Advanced gum (periodontal) disease
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- Impacted or painful wisdom teeth
Leaving a compromised tooth untreated can lead to bone loss, spreading infection, bite changes, and more. Early, precise care protects your long-term oral health.
Technology That Improves Comfort & Precision
- Digital X-rays & CBCT 3D imaging – Full views of roots, nerves, and bone guide angulation and depth—reducing risk to nearby anatomy.
- Electric handpieces – Quieter, smoother instrumentation for greater control and comfort.
- Piezoelectric ultrasonic instruments – Gently separates the tooth and preserves bone to support faster recovery.
- Surgical microscopes – Enhanced visualization for complex roots and compromised areas.
- Electronic apex location – Precision measurements during surgical extractions help avoid overextension.
From diagnosis to removal, every step is designed for accuracy, gentler techniques, and smoother healing.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Glendale
Third molars often remain impacted or erupt at angles, causing crowding, infections, cysts, or damage to adjacent teeth. We offer gentle, high-tech wisdom tooth removal with:
- CBCT analysis – Maps tooth position, roots, and nerve pathways for safe planning.
- Soft & hard tissue lasers – Adjuncts for precise, low-trauma access and improved hemostasis.
- Digital impressions (iTero/TRIOS/Medit) – When indicated, capture your bite to aid planning and post-op comfort.
- Sedation options – Relaxing, well-monitored choices to keep you comfortable throughout.
Whether partially erupted, fully impacted, or crowding, we tailor treatment and aftercare for a predictable recovery.

Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extractions Frequently Asked Questions
Will I feel pain during the extraction?
No. We use powerful local anesthetic and optional sedation to make your experience completely pain-free.
How long does it take to recover?
Most patients heal within 3–5 days. Wisdom tooth extractions may require slightly more time.
What are the signs I might need an extraction?
Persistent toothache, swelling, jaw stiffness, or visible decay are all red flags.
Can I work the next day?
Many patients return to work or school the day after, but we recommend at least one day of rest.
Are there alternatives to extraction?
In some cases, root canals or crowns may be options. We’ll always try to save the tooth if possible.
What can I eat after the procedure?
Stick to soft, cool foods like yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, and smoothies (no straws!).
Will it affect my appearance?
Not permanently. If a front tooth is removed, we can replace it with a natural-looking dental implant or bridge.
Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
Not always—but if they’re impacted, painful, or pushing other teeth, removal is recommended.
How much does a tooth extraction cost?
Costs vary based on complexity and sedation. We provide upfront pricing and payment plans.
