At Emergency Dentist Mission Valley, we’re ready to help you handle urgent situations. Our team of dental professionals is available round the clock to assess your condition and determine if tooth removal is needed to get you feeling better fast.
Tooth extractions aren’t always the first option, but there are times when they’re necessary to avoid bigger problems. Here are a few signs that may mean it’s time to see an extraction dentist:
When you come in for an emergency visit, our dental professionals will perform X-rays and examine the area to decide if an emergency extraction is needed.
If so, we’ll use appropriate types of anesthesia (local anesthesia, sedation, or general, depending on the complexity and your comfort level). Our experienced extraction dentist will ensure the dental procedure is quick and safe, usually completed in around 20 minutes for straightforward cases.

Simple tooth extractions for visible, easily accessible teeth.

Surgical extractions for broken, decayed, or impacted wisdom teeth.

Yes! We offer dental implants to replace the missing tooth and restore full function and appearance. This can be discussed as part of your follow-up care.
