Our top oral surgeries in Rio Rancho, NM include:
Dental Extractions
At Rio Rancho Smiles, Dr. Sharareh Shokoohi prioritizes comprehensive dental care, which sometimes includes tooth extractions when necessary for overall oral health. While the goal is to save natural teeth, extractions are considered for severe decay, gum disease, impacted teeth, overcrowding, infection, or irreparable damage. If an extraction is needed, a thorough exam and X-rays are conducted, followed by local anesthesia and gentle removal of the tooth. Surgical extractions may be required in some cases. Detailed post-operative instructions are provided, including pain management, swelling control, bleeding management, dietary guidelines, oral hygiene practices, and rest. Choosing Rio Rancho Smiles ensures experienced care, patient comfort with anesthesia and sedation options, and coordination with trusted oral surgeons for complex cases. Contact Rio Rancho Smiles for a consultation if you're experiencing tooth pain or suspect an extraction might be necessary.
Root Canal Therapy
At Rio Rancho Smiles, Dr. Sharareh Shokoohi provides comprehensive dental care, including root canal treatments to save infected or damaged teeth. A root canal is needed when the tooth's pulp, containing nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected due to decay, cracks, or prior procedures. Dr. Shokoohi removes the infected pulp, cleans and seals the tooth, and recommends a dental crown for protection. Symptoms indicating a possible root canal include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity, tooth discoloration, gum swelling, or a persistent sore. The procedure involves an examination, X-rays, anesthesia, pulp removal, canal cleaning and filling, and crown placement, often requiring multiple appointments. Post-treatment, some sensitivity is expected, and Dr. Shokoohi will provide detailed care instructions.
