Tooth Extraction in Brea, CA
What is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the careful removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While saving a natural tooth is always the priority, there are times when removal is the healthiest path forward. Dr. Kwok uses advanced imaging technology like CBCT scans and digital X-rays to evaluate your situation thoroughly, and she’ll walk you through every detail so there are never any surprises.

Types of Tooth Extractions
There are two main types of extractions we perform at our Brea office. A simple extraction is used when the tooth is visible above the gumline and can be removed with gentle rocking and lifting. A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline or impacted below the surface, requiring Dr. Kwok to access it through a small opening in the gum tissue. She’s trained in both simple and surgical extractions, along with socket preservation techniques to protect your jawbone for future restoration options.
