Tooth Extractions In Coral Springs
Even with the best oral care, there are times when removing a tooth becomes necessary to safeguard your overall health. Once we’ve explored all other treatment options and extraction is the best course of action, our team will be by your side every step of the way. Your comfort and well-being remain our top priorities throughout the process.
For patients who feel anxious about oral surgery, sedation options can be incorporated into your treatment plan to ease any stress. No matter the procedure, we are committed to making the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—even for minor surgical treatments.
Removing teeth can vary in complexity, but at My Dentist For Life of Coral Springs, our team is dedicated to ensuring your comfort throughout the process. We begin every procedure with modern anesthetics to thoroughly numb the area, so you’re at ease from the start. Once the anesthetic takes effect, we use precise instruments to gently elevate the tooth from its position. After the extraction, you’ll receive clear instructions on how to care for the area, along with any necessary prescriptions to support a smooth healing process.
In addition, we emphasize the importance of early detection when it comes to oral cancer. Prompt diagnosis and treatment significantly improve outcomes. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 7,000 deaths occur annually from oral cancer out of 30,000 diagnosed cases. If we notice any abnormal tissue changes, we may recommend a biopsy and lab analysis for a closer look.
Not all tissue changes are cancerous—oral warts, autoimmune lesions, and other non-cancerous conditions can also occur. Dr. Saba Rizvi’s expertise in oral pathology allows her to determine whether any abnormalities require removal or just routine monitoring.
We also recognize how difficult it can be to quit tobacco, even for health-conscious individuals. If you're ready to take that step, we’re here to support you. Feel free to speak with Dr. Saba Rizvi or your hygienist about helpful strategies and resources to help you quit for good.

What to Expect During the Tooth Extraction Procedure?
When you undergo a tooth extraction at our My Dentist For Life of Coral Springs, FL dental office, our priority is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:
- Preparation: Before we begin, a local anesthetic will be applied to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring you're relaxed and pain-free throughout the process. Our skilled oral surgeon will assess your needs and administer the anesthetic with care, making your comfort a top priority.
- Extraction: Once the area is fully numb, the extraction will begin. Depending on the tooth’s condition and placement, it may be sectioned into smaller pieces to allow for easier and safer removal. Our experienced dental team uses gentle, precise techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure an efficient procedure.
- Post-Extraction Care: After the tooth is removed, the site will be thoroughly cleaned to reduce the risk of infection and encourage proper healing. Gauze will be placed to control bleeding and help form a blood clot. You’ll receive clear post-care instructions, including pain management tips, dietary suggestions, and signs to watch during your recovery.
At My Dentist For Life of Coral Springs, we approach every extraction with care, precision, and your well-being in mind. If you have any concerns or questions during your recovery, our team is always here to support you.
