in Laguna Niguel, CA
When a damaged or painful tooth is affecting your health or quality of life, we're here to help. While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes a safe, gentle extraction is the best path to save your smile.
Sometimes a tooth causes more harm than good. While our top priority is to protect your natural teeth, certain issues like infection, impaction, or decay can threaten your overall oral health. Whether you're dealing with painful wisdom teeth or preparing for a dental implant, extractions can be a safe, effective solution to get you out of pain and back to your life. With local anesthesia and gentle care, the procedure is quick, and we're here to keep you comfortable every step of the way.
If you're dealing with painful wisdom teeth or severe tooth damage, an extraction offers quick relief and restores your comfort.
Extractions pave the way for restorative treatments, such as dental implants or dentures, ensuring a strong foundation for long-term dental solutions.
Removing damaged or problematic teeth helps protect your oral health, preventing further complications and promoting overall well-being.
We provide surgical extractions with a focus on protecting and rebuilding the jaw for future health and restoration. Using techniques like bone grafting, ridge augmentation, and alveoloplasty, we prepare the site for ideal healing and long-term stability. For patients considering overdentures or implant-supported dentures, this foundation ensures stronger, more predictable outcomes.
Tooth extractions are more than just removing a tooth — they're about preserving what's next. When needed, we perform bone grafting immediately after extraction to maintain bone volume and support future dental implants or restorations.
Wisdom teeth can cause headaches, jaw pain, and crowding. We'll evaluate your situation and walk you through the best plan of action.
With digital x-rays, we get high-resolution images of your teeth that allow us to make more accurate diagnoses. When you're in pain or experiencing an emergency, we can see why the tooth is reacting and if an extraction is needed.
If you're nervous about your procedure, we've got your back. Ask us about our sedation options to keep you calm, comfortable, and stress-free from start to finish.
From your first visit to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Book a ConsultationDuring your consultation, we'll take digital x-rays to assess the condition of your tooth and the surrounding bone. We'll explain whether extraction is truly necessary and walk you through any alternatives. If you're moving forward, we'll review the number of teeth to be removed, aftercare expectations, and any follow-up recommendations for tooth replacement. We'll answer every question you have so you feel fully informed and know what to expect.
Before we begin, your comfort is our top priority. The area around your tooth will be thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia. Our team will walk you through what to expect and stay by your side throughout the entire visit. You'll never feel rushed, and we'll make sure you're completely at ease before we proceed.
The extraction itself is typically quick — simple extractions take only a few minutes once you're numb and comfortable. We use gentle techniques to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues. After your tooth is removed, the site will be cleaned and, if needed, closed with sutures. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions, including tips on diet, hygiene, and how to avoid dry socket. Most patients experience mild discomfort for a couple of days and are back to normal within one to two weeks.

I recently visited Dr. Tousi's clinic and had a great experience. The space itself really stands out — it's brand new, thoughtfully designed, and feels calm and welcoming without the typical "clinical" atmosphere. What I appreciated most was how efficient and straightforward the appointment was. Dr. Tousi was very clear in explaining what she was seeing and what actually needed to be done — no overcomplicating, no pressure, just honest and practical advice. It made the whole visit feel much more comfortable and trustworthy. You can tell a lot of care has gone into both the clinic and the patient experience. Definitely a place I'd feel confident returning to and recommending.
Dr. Tousi is an amazing dentist. So focused on making sure that my teeth and gums are the best they can be. The office was so clean, tight and inviting. Staff was so very nice and welcoming. If I could give this a 6 star review I would.
This is such a nice office, one of the best I've been to. You can really tell that a lot of care and effort was put into the design, and the Dr is amazing. She's so empathetic, caring, and thorough in all of her diagnoses and work. There is not a thing that slips by her, and I very much admire how she addresses problems the moment they arise. One thing a lot of dentists do is to "watch" teeth when they shouldn't be. Dr. Tousi will diagnose treatment from the moment she notices something off to prevent more damage in the future.

Tooth extractions are typically recommended when a tooth is beyond repair due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, trauma, or infection. Sometimes, a tooth may need to be removed to make room for orthodontic treatment or to prepare for a dental implant or denture. Wisdom teeth are often extracted if they're impacted, causing pain, or crowding surrounding teeth. Your dentist will always explore all options before recommending removal, but sometimes extraction is the best way to protect your long-term oral health.
You won't feel pain during the procedure thanks to local anesthesia. After the numbing wears off, it's normal to experience mild swelling, soreness, or discomfort in the area. These symptoms are usually most noticeable in the first 48–72 hours and taper off within a week. You can manage them with over-the-counter pain relievers, cold compresses, rest, and following your doctor's aftercare instructions. If you experience worsening pain, prolonged bleeding, or signs of infection, contact us right away.
Extractions required for impacted wisdom teeth, or to remove severely damaged or decayed teeth, are typically covered by insurance. To understand the specifics of your coverage, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly for more details.
