Gentle extractions

A calm, caring approach to tooth removal

We know the thought of having a tooth removed can feel overwhelming — but it doesn't have to be. Our team takes a gentle, compassionate and personalized approach to every extraction, keeping you comfortable from start to finish.

Before recommending removal, Dr. Massaband checks whether the tooth can be saved with root canal treatment or a crown. If extraction is the healthiest choice, we explain why, review your medical history and medications, and walk you through the procedure and recovery so there are no surprises.

Wisdom teeth removal

Wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Some come in without trouble, but many cause pain, swelling, infection, decay or crowding because there isn't enough room.

We evaluate the position of each wisdom tooth, its roots and the surrounding anatomy with appropriate X-rays. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted, infected or simply uncomfortable, we provide safe, gentle and efficient removal — and if a case is especially complex, we'll explain whether a specialist referral is the safer route.

Extraction & preservation

Think ahead to the space left behind

For some teeth, replacement is an important part of the long-term plan. Starting that conversation before the extraction can save time and protect your bone.

Socket preservation

A bone graft placed at the time of extraction helps maintain the bone volume needed for a future implant.

Immediate implants

In suitable cases an implant can be placed the same day the tooth is removed, reducing appointments and keeping your smile intact.

Temporary options

If a visible tooth is removed, we'll discuss a temporary replacement so you never have to leave with a gap.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often appear between the ages of 17 and 25 — and while some come in without trouble, many can cause pain, swelling, infection, or crowding.

Root Canal Treatment

When the inside of a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, a root canal can save it from extraction and restore its function. At Magnolia Dentistry, we use advanced technology and gentle techniques to remove infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth.

Our goal is to make the procedure as comfortable as possible, helping you protect your smile while avoiding future dental complications. With expert care and a focus on patient comfort, we turn what many consider a stressful treatment into a smooth, reassuring experience.

Patient reviews

Why patients trust Dr. Massaband

Hands down the best dentist and dental office I have ever been to. I got my teeth worked on by Dr. Massaband — she is an absolute delight. Her work is top of the line. I have always been afraid of the dentist, but the way she worked on me I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort, which is so rare to find. She really makes sure you are 100% satisfied before you walk out of her office. Staff is super friendly and the office is in a great location.

Dr. Massaband was wonderful! I brought my mom to her in an emergency state. The doctor came in early on a Sunday, was very professional and detail oriented, took great care of my mom’s complicated procedure and even followed up multiple times a day during her recovery. Very grateful to have found her!

Questions patients ask

Call (818) 846-9041

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

The area is fully numbed, so you should feel pressure but not pain. Soreness afterward is usually managed well with over-the-counter pain relief and the instructions we provide.

How long does it take to recover?

Most people feel back to normal within a few days. Full healing of the socket takes a few weeks. Wisdom tooth recovery can take a little longer.

Will I need to replace the extracted tooth?

It depends on which tooth is removed and your bite. Back molars and front teeth usually should be replaced; wisdom teeth don't. We'll explain options such as implants, bridges or dentures.

Can I get a same-day emergency extraction?

Often, yes — depending on the diagnosis, your medical history and the complexity of the tooth. Call (818) 846-9041 for an urgent assessment.

What should I tell the dentist before an extraction?

Your medical conditions, full medication list (especially blood thinners), allergies and previous experiences with dental treatment. Don't stop prescribed medication unless your physician tells you to.
