Surgical Tooth Extractions in Pasadena, CA
Expert Tooth Removal with Implant-Ready Planning
Sometimes, saving a tooth is no longer the healthiest option—especially if it's severely decayed, fractured, or has advanced periodontal damage. At Angha Perio, we perform precise, gentle tooth extractions as part of your long-term oral health plan, often in preparation for dental implants or All-on-4 full arch restoration. With a calm setting, expert surgical technique, and a focus on bone preservation, we help patients transition smoothly from tooth loss to smile restoration.
Why You May Need a Surgical Extraction
While general dentists handle many routine extractions, more complex cases benefit from a periodontist’s expertise—especially when implant replacement is being considered. You may need a surgical extraction if:
- A tooth is fractured below the gumline
- You’ve experienced severe bone loss from gum disease
- The tooth has multiple curved or fused roots
- Infection or decay has compromised surrounding tissues
- You’re preparing for a dental implant or full-arch replacement
Even if you’re not ready to place an implant right away, we can preserve the site with bone grafting to protect your future options.
Our Approach: Gentle, Precise, and Proactive
At Angha Perio, every tooth extraction is performed with your long-term oral health in mind. Here’s how we make it different:
- 3D diagnostics and treatment planning prior to surgery
- Use of minimally invasive instruments to protect bone and gum tissue
- Socket preservation with bone graft material to support future implants
- Optional oral conscious sedation for anxiety-free care
- Personalized aftercare and follow-up to ensure smooth healing
If multiple teeth need to be removed as part of a full-mouth rehabilitation, we may recommend All-on-4 as a streamlined, implant-supported solution.
Immediate Implant Placement After Extraction
In select cases, we can place a dental implant at the same time as the extraction—reducing the number of surgical visits and speeding up your path to a restored smile. This option depends on:
- The integrity of surrounding bone
- Absence of active infection
- Your overall health and treatment goals
Dr. Sarvenaz Angha will review all options with you during your consultation to determine if immediate placement is appropriate.
Why Choose a Periodontist for Tooth Extraction?
As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Angha specializes in procedures that involve both hard and soft tissue management. Her approach is especially beneficial when:
- You're planning for future or immediate implants
- You want to minimize trauma to the bone
- You require ridge augmentation or sinus lifts post-extraction
- You're seeking care in a quiet, wellness-focused, boutique environment
We also support your healing with nutritional counselling and help you maintain gum health through ongoing cleanings and exams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tooth extraction painful?
Not at Angha Perio. The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia, and sedation is available for a stress-free experience. Most patients report minimal discomfort afterward.
How long is recovery?
Most patients recover within a few days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and support to help you heal quickly and avoid complications.
Will I need a bone graft?
If you're planning an implant or want to prevent bone shrinkage, a socket preservation graft is often recommended—and can be done during the same visit.
Can I get an implant immediately after extraction?
In many cases, yes. If the conditions are right, immediate implant placement can streamline your care and reduce treatment time.
