Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are one of the most common dental procedures, but at Empower Dental, they’re anything but routine. Each extraction is carefully planned to be as comfortable and minimally invasive as possible.
We may recommend an extraction if you have:
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- A broken or fractured tooth that cannot be repaired
- Advanced gum disease (periodontal disease)
- Overcrowded teeth before orthodontic treatment
- Impacted or painful wisdom teeth
Leaving a damaged or infected tooth untreated can lead to more serious problems, such as bone loss, spreading infection, or misalignment of your bite. Early intervention is the key to protecting your smile and preventing complications.
How Empower Dental Uses Technology to Improve Your Extraction
At Empower Dental Pasadena, we believe in combining compassionate care with powerful tools to give you the best experience possible. Here’s how we make your extraction faster, safer, and more precise:
- Digital X-rays & 3D Imaging (Cone Beam CT Scanner) - These advanced imaging tools let us see your entire jaw—including roots, nerves, and bone—in crisp detail. This helps us plan the exact angle and depth of your extraction while reducing the risk of nerve damage or unnecessary bone removal.
- Electric Handpieces - Unlike traditional drills, our electric handpieces are quieter, smoother, and allow for greater control—resulting in a more comfortable procedure and faster recovery.
- Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Scalers - These high-frequency instruments allow us to gently separate the tooth from surrounding tissue, minimizing trauma and promoting faster healing.
- Microscopes for Endodontics - Used in more complex extractions, these surgical microscopes help us visualize intricate root structures and ensure nothing is left behind.
- Electronic Apex Locator - This precise tool helps us measure root length during surgical extractions to avoid overextending into sensitive areas.
From diagnosis to removal, every step is designed for accuracy, gentler techniques, and smoother healing.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Pasadena
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often cause problems when they don’t fully erupt or grow in at an angle. This is known as impaction, and it can lead to swelling, infections, damage to adjacent teeth, or even jawbone cysts if left untreated.
At Empower Dental Pasadena, we specialize in gentle, high-tech wisdom tooth extractions. We use:
- Cone Beam CT Scans to analyze the position of your wisdom teeth, nerves, and bone structure
- Soft and Hard Tissue Lasers for precise, low-trauma removal
- Digital Impressions (iTero, TRIOS, Medit) to capture your bite and plan your care
- Sedation options to help you stay relaxed and pain-free
Whether your wisdom teeth are partially erupted, fully impacted, or simply crowding other teeth, we provide safe, comfortable solutions and personalized aftercare for quick recovery.

No. We use powerful local anesthetic and optional sedation to make your experience completely pain-free.
Most patients heal within 3–5 days. Wisdom tooth extractions may require slightly more time.
Persistent toothache, swelling, jaw stiffness, or visible decay are all red flags.
Many patients return to work or school the day after, but we recommend at least one day of rest.
In some cases, root canals or crowns may be options. We’ll always try to save the tooth if possible.
Stick to soft, cool foods like yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, and smoothies (no straws!).
Not permanently. If a front tooth is removed, we can replace it with a natural-looking dental implant or bridge.
Not always—but if they’re impacted, painful, or pushing other teeth, removal is recommended.
Costs vary based on complexity and sedation. We provide upfront pricing and payment plans.
