When a Tooth Needs to Come Out
Not every tooth that causes pain needs to come out. Dr. Sanjabi looks at the full picture and explains your options clearly. When an extraction is the right call, you’ll understand why before anything happens.
- If you’re moving toward dental implants or a full-arch restoration, the extraction and the implant placement can often happen on the same visit.
Dr. Sanjabi also handles extractions as part of larger restorative cases.
- A tooth that is too damaged or decayed to be saved with a crown or root canal
- A tooth that is loose due to gum disease and can’t be stabilized
- A wisdom tooth that is impacted, crowded, or causing pain
- A tooth that needs to come out before a dental implant or orthodontic treatment can begin
- A failing tooth that is holding back a treatment plan
Wisdom Teeth Removal in Downey
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, usually in the late teens or early twenties. Many people don’t have room for them, and that causes problems: crowding, pain, pressure on neighboring teeth, or a partially erupted tooth that traps food and gets infected.
Having wisdom teeth removed is one of the most common dental procedures, and it doesn’t have to be a difficult experience. Dr. Sanjabi takes his time with each patient, explains the procedure before starting, and makes sure you’re comfortable throughout.
“I was so nervous today about getting my wisdom teeth pulled… Dr Sanjabi really made me feel at ease and cared for. The process was quick and painless. He took his time to explain to me what he’s going to do and how it will feel.”

Staying Comfortable During Your Extraction
For patients who feel anxious about dental procedures, including extractions, the procedure is done with local anesthesia and sedation to keep you comfortable. Oral sedation covers many cases, and IV sedation is available for anxious patients who would rather be fully asleep for the whole thing.
Dr. Sanjabi explains what he’s doing before and during the procedure, so you’re never wondering what’s happening next. Patients consistently describe the experience as quicker and easier than they had anticipated.
- Many patients are surprised by how manageable the experience is. The nerves beforehand tend to be worse than the procedure itself.

Replacing a Tooth After Extraction
Removing a tooth solves the immediate problem. It also creates a gap that, over time, has its own consequences. The bone where the root was will start to shrink without stimulation, and neighboring teeth may drift toward the open space. For many patients, that conversation starts at the same visit as the extraction.
Dental implants
A dental implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth replacement. It goes where the root was, preserves the bone, and does not involve any neighboring teeth. In some cases, Dr. Sanjabi can place the implant the same day as the extraction.
If you’re not ready to replace the tooth yet
That’s fine too. Dr. Sanjabi walks through your options at your appointment and lets you make the decision on your timeline. There’s no pressure to commit to anything at the extraction visit.
Your Extraction, Start to Finish.
01
Exam and 3D scan
Dr. Sanjabi confirms the tooth needs to come out and checks the bone around it, as part of your consultation.
02
Comfortable removal
The tooth comes out with local anesthesia and sedation for those who want it, oral for many cases and IV when it's the right fit. Most patients say it was easier than they feared.
03
Protecting the site
When it makes sense, the socket is preserved with a bone graft the same day, so your implant options stay open later.
04
A plan for what's next
Before you leave, you know your options for replacing the tooth, often started at the same visit.
Protecting the Bone After Extraction
When a tooth comes out, placing a bone graft in the empty socket right away can preserve the bone that would otherwise start to shrink. This is called socket preservation or ridge preservation, and it makes future dental implant placement easier. If you’re considering a dental implant down the road, Dr. Sanjabi may recommend doing this at the time of extraction. It adds a step, but it can save time and complexity later.
Questions About Tooth Extractions
Will I be in pain during the procedure?
Local anesthesia numbs the area completely. IV sedation is also available if you would rather not be aware of the procedure at all. Many patients say the procedure itself was not painful.
How long does recovery take?
Simple extractions usually feel much better within a few days. Surgical extractions, including impacted wisdom teeth, may take a week or more to fully settle. Dr. Sanjabi goes over what to expect for your specific case before you leave.
Can I have a dental implant placed the same day?
In some cases, yes. This is evaluated at your appointment and depends on the condition of the bone at the extraction site.
Do I have to get my wisdom teeth out?
Not necessarily. Some wisdom teeth come in fully and cause no problems. Dr. Sanjabi looks at your X-rays and gives you a straight recommendation. If removal isn’t urgent, he’ll tell you.
