Immediate Relief
Removing the source of an abscess or a fractured root ends the pain that painkillers had only ever been managing rather than actually fixing.
Is pulling a tooth really the only option left? Most of the time it is not, and a tooth extraction in Carmichael, CA, only happens once the alternatives have genuinely been ruled out. Marconi Dental Group walks through what saving the tooth would take before removing it.
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved with a filling, a crown, or root canal treatment, or that has to come out to make room in the arch. Dr. Dylan Kovar has completed live surgical coursework in extractions and manages the more difficult root anatomy here in the office. Dr. Werner Visagé is available when the surrounding gum and bone need attention alongside the removal.
Removing the source of an abscess or a fractured root ends the pain that painkillers had only ever been managing rather than actually fixing.
Taking out a tooth that is actively infected stops the bacteria from spreading further into the surrounding bone and into the teeth beside it.
A failing tooth pushes infection and pressure onto whatever sits next to it, and removing it protects teeth that are still perfectly healthy.
Careful removal preserves the bone around the socket, which keeps an implant or a bridge straightforward whenever you are ready to pursue one.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Schedule AppointmentDigital imaging shows root shape, bone density, and how close the nerve or the sinus sits, all of which shape how the removal gets approached.
The area is numbed completely and oral sedation is available, and nothing begins until you have confirmed you cannot feel the tooth at all.
The tooth is loosened and lifted rather than forced out, which protects the surrounding bone and helps the socket heal faster afterward.
The site is cleaned and a bone graft is placed whenever the plan calls for it, which preserves ridge width for a future replacement tooth.
You leave with written instructions, a clear plan for managing discomfort, and a direct way to reach us if anything does not feel right at home.
Severe Damage — A tooth has fractured below the gumline or lost so much structure that no crown would have anything solid left underneath it to hold onto.
Deep Infection — An abscess has spread into the bone and root canal treatment cannot reliably clear it, which is what makes removal the safer route in that situation.
Advanced Mobility — Gum disease has destroyed enough supporting bone that the tooth now moves noticeably, and no restoration can stabilize a loose foundation.
Crowding Issue — There is not enough room in the arch for a tooth to sit properly, and removing one creates the space that alignment treatment needs to work.
Dr. Kovar has completed live surgical coursework in extractions, so curved, fused, or fractured roots are managed here instead of referred out.
Grafting at the time of removal keeps the ridge from collapsing, which is what protects your options for an implant months further down the line.
You hear the replacement options before the tooth ever comes out, so the gap is part of a plan rather than a problem you discover afterward.
Oral sedation is available for anyone who wants it and never pushed on anyone who does not, which keeps that choice genuinely yours to make.

The extraction itself is done under full anesthetic, so you feel pressure and movement rather than pain. Soreness for a few days afterward is normal and usually manages well with over-the-counter medication.
The gum tissue closes over within one to two weeks, while the bone underneath continues filling in for several months. Most people return to normal routines within a day or two and just avoid that side while chewing.
For most back and front teeth, yes, since the neighboring teeth drift and the bone narrows once a space sits empty. Dr. Kovar goes over implants, bridges, and partials before the extraction so the timing works in your favor.
Cost depends on whether the tooth is straightforward or surgical and whether grafting is part of the plan, so our front desk quotes the figure before you book. Cherry, CareCredit, and in-house financing are available, and Marconi Dental Plan members receive 30% off cash fees.
Most PPO plans cover extractions as a basic or major service and pay a share of the fee. We accept all major providers, work with out-of-network plans, and confirm your portion before treatment is scheduled.
Come in before the pain decides the timeline for you. Book online for a tooth extraction in Carmichael, CA, and we will start by checking whether the tooth can still be saved.
