Dental Extractions and Bone Augmentation
Dental Extractions and Bone Augmentation in Seattle
Sometimes a tooth can’t be saved, and removing it is the healthiest option. Dr. Dehkordi provides gentle tooth extractions along with bone augmentation to prepare your mouth for future restorative treatment, such as dental implants.
When a Tooth Extraction Is Necessary
Extractions may be needed due to severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or a tooth too damaged to repair. Our priority is always to save your natural tooth when possible, but when extraction is the best option, we make the process as comfortable as possible.
Comfortable, Gentle Care
We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to minimize discomfort, and our team walks you through aftercare instructions to support smooth, fast healing.
Preserving Your Jawbone with Bone Augmentation
After a tooth is removed, the jawbone in that area can begin to shrink over time. Bone augmentation helps rebuild and preserve the bone structure, especially important if you’re planning a future dental implant.

Frequently Asked Question
Find answers to common questions about our practice amd servces
Is tooth extraction painful?
The area is fully numbed before the procedure, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the extraction. Some soreness afterward is normal and manageable with aftercare instructions.
Do I need bone augmentation after every extraction?
Not always. It depends on your future treatment plans, such as whether you intend to get a dental implant. We’ll discuss this with you during your consultation.
How long does it take to heal after an extraction?
Initial healing typically takes about one to two weeks, though complete bone healing can take a few months.
