What to Expect During Tooth Extraction

It is completely normal to be nervous about the removal of a tooth, and Dr. Beck-Mayo and her caring team are here to help you have the most comfortable experience possible. Many people have heard horror stories of painful tooth extractions, or maybe experienced one themselves, but as a highly trained specialist having performed thousands of procedures, you can rest assured you are in good hands with Dr. Beck-Mayo and her team.  We understand that any surgical procedure can cause anxiety, but you need not fear!  For Dr. Beck-Mayo and her team, your comfort is of upmost importance.  They take time to answer all your questions before you even step in the dental treatment room, carefully explaining the procedure and thoroughly reviewing post-operative instructions during your consultation and again during your pre-procedure appointment.  Their goal is to help minimize your fear and help make your experience as comfortable and pain-free as possible, complete with a warm blanket fresh from the dryer, aromatherapy, and even a scented, warm, moist towelette to refresh afterward. Nothing but first-class treatment for our patients!

Dr. Beck-Mayo utilizes several techniques to ensure a pain-free numbing process including a specially formulated numbing gel to ‘pre-numb’ the injection area, alteration of the anesthetic to reduce burning and improve the potency of the anesthesia, and even use of a device to further minimize pain during injection (Learn more about the DentalVibe here!) Once the area is thoroughly numb, Dr. Beck-Mayo carefully loosens and lifts the tooth from the surrounding bone, without any actual ‘pulling’! Patients are often shocked how painless and easy the process is in Dr. Beck-Mayo’s hands.  If bone grafting is indicated, the procedure is performed quickly and painlessly. Dr. Beck-Mayo’s careful precision ensure a smooth recovery and refreshingly easy experience for her patients. After all, Dr. Beck-Mayo’s goal is to minimize the stress, anxiety, and pain too many patients experience when needing a tooth extraction.  Your comfort is her top priority, and that’s why so many San Diego and Poway dentists only refer patients needing tooth removal to Dr. Beck-Mayo and her team.
