I have been going to Sequoia Dental for 15+ years and they are absolutely the best in Visalia. Dentists used to give me anxiety – now I actually look forward to my cleanings.
Most of our dental treatments, like same-day root canals and dental crowns, focus on helping you keep your smile intact. Still, there are times when you’ll need tooth removal in Visalia. When you do, you can trust your procedure to our veteran team.
Your extraction will go smoothly because:
If you think you need to have a tooth removed, call us today at 559-608-3533. Our dentists are happy to offer you a free second opinion if you need one.
Once you’ve had a tooth removed, it’s a good idea to replace it as soon as possible. That’s because when you lose a tooth, the bone surrounding it begins to break down. Studies show you can lose up to 25 percent of your bone density within a year of losing a tooth. This affects your facial appearance, making you look older.
Fortunately, we offer multiple ways of replacing teeth with dental implants, which will prevent this loss of bone:
If implants aren’t for you, you can choose a conventional dental bridge or dentures instead.

Great group of people who actually cared about me and my family’s health.
Sequoia Dental is my favorite dentist I’ve been to. I’ve been coming to this dentist for over 15 years and I have always felt so welcomed and safe here.
Wonderful experience. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Procedure was practically painless. I would recommend Sequoia anytime. Price and service. hands down. Thank You!
There are many reasons why I have been a client here since they opened up in the 90s. Very friendly and professional at what they do. Im treated like family here and that includes newer staff. Thanks Sequoia Dental for top of the line dental services.
I had an excellent first experience as a patient at Sequoia Dental. The practice is large, very well organized, and I was very pleased with the treatment, Which was surprisingly painless. I will be back next month for a follow up.
Great dental office. Always get great care and such a friendly staff
Very nice work environment. Office staff were very respectful and nice, much appreciative.
Excellent service. The Hygienist did an excellent job in taking care of my dental needs . Very professional .
I absolutely recommend sequoia dental. All staff from the front office to the drs are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. My personal experience having my wisdom teeth removed was exceptional. I did not feel one ounce of pain throughout the whole procedure. I didn’t even feel the needle used to numb my mouth. The dentist took his time to make sure I was comfortable and completely numb. However the process was fast and I drove home with a smile on my face.
In some cases, one of our dentists may need to remove a tooth or two from a patient receiving braces – especially those who are already experiencing crowding. This creates adequate room for teeth to move into their proper positions. Not all patients will need an extraction. We examine you with advanced technology like digital X-rays to determine if any teeth need to be removed.
Bleeding won’t last long if you apply pressure to the extraction site with a clean piece of gauze. Gently biting down on it works well. If bleeding continues, you can substitute a damp tea bag (black tea) for the gauze. Tannins in the tea encourage blood clotting. You may experience slight oozing (a lot of saliva with a little blood) for up to 48 hours. Keeping your head elevated will help it stop.
A dry socket occurs if blood doesn’t clot at your extraction site or if the blood clot comes loose before the wound heals. The primary symptom is pain that increases instead of lessens in the first few days after extraction. If you have dry socket, you’ll need to return to our office so we can thoroughly clean the site and apply medication that will help. Following our post-op instructions will help prevent this problem.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
