Tooth extractions are one of the most common oral surgery procedures, and having the right team makes the experience far easier than most patients expect. At ProMax Implants & Oral Surgery, Dr. Amogh Velangi and Dr. Rozbeh Hossieni combine specialized training with advanced technology to perform safe, precise, and comfortable extractions for patients throughout Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ.
We know the thought of removing a tooth can feel intimidating. Our goal is to make every step as smooth and stress-free as possible, whether you need a single tooth removed or a more complex surgical extraction.
Not all extractions are the same. The right approach depends on the position and condition of the tooth.
A simple extraction removes a tooth that is fully visible above the gumline. After the area is numbed, the tooth is gently loosened and removed without incisions. These procedures are usually quick and have a comfortable recovery.
Performed when the tooth is fully erupted and easily accessible. These procedures are often completed quickly using local anesthesia.
A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is impacted, broken at the gumline, or has complex roots. It involves a small incision and, in some cases, removing a bit of bone or sectioning the tooth for easier removal. These procedures require greater skill and precision, which is why having a specialist perform them matters.
Recommended for impacted teeth, fractured teeth, or teeth below the gumline. Surgical extractions require specialized techniques to safely remove the tooth while protecting surrounding structures.
Your extraction begins with a thorough consultation. We review your dental and medical history, examine the tooth, and take advanced imaging to fully assess the situation. This lets us choose the right approach, plan for any complications, and walk you through your anesthesia options. You will never feel rushed or unsure.
Local anesthesia ensures the area is completely numb before we begin. For patients with dental anxiety or more complex cases, sedation is available to keep you relaxed and comfortable. Our surgeon then removes the tooth using a gentle, precise technique.
We provide clear post-operative instructions to support smooth healing:
If a permanent tooth is removed, replacing it is an important part of protecting your long-term oral health. Once a tooth is gone, the bone beneath it begins to shrink, and nearby teeth can drift into the space. Dental implants are the gold standard for replacement, restoring both the look and function of a natural tooth.
Because we handle extractions and implant placement in-house, we can guide you from removal through replacement with one coordinated team. In many cases, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction helps preserve the site for a future implant.
Certified sedation and an experienced approach mean less pain and discomfort, both during your procedure and throughout recovery.
Our expertise allows us to perform every procedure efficiently while delivering the accurate, reliable outcomes you expect.
From impacted teeth and wisdom teeth to medically compromised patients, we handle even the most challenging cases with confidence.
Skilled, precise care translates into quicker healing and shorter recovery times, so you can get back to your life sooner.
Dry socket can occur when the blood clot that forms at the extraction site is dislodged before the area heals, exposing the underlying bone. To lower your risk:
Extractions performed by an oral surgeon offer a level of precision and surgical expertise beyond a general dental setting.
Dr. Velangi and Dr. Hossieni handle everything from routine removals to complex surgical extractions with the same focus on comfort and careful technique. We welcome referrals and coordinate closely with referring dentists, keeping your office informed and returning patients to you for their ongoing care.
