Extraction or tooth removal is performed for a number of reasons. Prior to tooth removal, it is important to determine if and how it will be replaced. In some situations, preservation of the remaining bone around the extracted teeth is indicated. Dr. Cohen will discuss your particular needs after a complete examination.
Teeth are extracted (removed) for a variety of reasons including cavities, fractures, infections, severe bone loss, improper location in the jawbone, among others. When teeth are removed, the space that is left may cause other teeth to shift or move from their existing location. Dr. Cohen will discuss appropriate
options for tooth replacement, should the extraction site be in a location that may affect the shifting of other teeth.
After appropriate anesthesia is achieved in the treatment area, your tooth can be removed without pain. The anesthesia allows pressure sensation during tooth extraction. In many cases, teeth can be removed without opening the gum tissue at all. Every effort is taken to remove the tooth as conservatively as possible, so as to not disturb the supporting bone structure.
In almost all cases, Dr. Cohen will advise a patient to have a bone graft placed in the extraction site (Extraction Site Preservation) to help prevent the bone shrinkage that occurs after a tooth is removed.
Dr. Cohen is a genuinely awesome person, and he really prioritizes patient comfort. I’d love to elaborate about my actual surgery, but don’t remember much honestly. It was pain free and went by like a breeze, and a week out I don’t think I felt much pain at all. All of his staff are wonderful, and the happy vibes from everyone makes the whole patient experience perfect. If you need periodontal work, there’s no reason not to see Dr. Cohen, they are the best!

I was having very bad mouth pain and Dr Cohen made time to do surgery the very next day. I was very nervous about the surgery but Dr Cohen explained everything very well and the procedure was painless. I had no pain after the surgery and was able to go on a business trip the very next day. I highly recommend Dr Cohen.

I’ve got to say, this was one of the easiest procedures I ever had in my life as far as dental work goes. Even easier than getting my teeth cleaned! . Dr. Cohen and his staff are excellent and made me feel very comfortable. They explained everything in detail and left no loose ends. I had absolutely no discomfort, no pain, no bruising or bleeding (this is very rare for me!), and very little swelling on which I used ice packs the first day. If you are considering this procedure, LANAP, please don’t be the least bit hesitant. In my opinion, it was a piece of cake!!! Thank You, Dr. Cohen and Staff, for all you did for me!!

The procedure was totally pain-free and the recovery was incredibly comfortable and fast. Post-surgery, Dr. Cohen called l to see how I was doing. I am so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Cohen.
