Tooth Extractions in Coral Gables, FL

Sometimes, saving a tooth isn’t possible—but that doesn’t mean the experience has to be painful or stressful. At Elite Smile Dental Center in Coral Gables, FL, Dr. Yelisbet Fernandez (known to her patients as Dr. Yeli) provides gentle and compassionate tooth extractions designed to protect your comfort, preserve your oral health, and prepare you for a healthy, lasting smile.

Tooth removal is never treated here as “just another procedure.” For Dr. Yeli, it’s an important step in restoring balance, eliminating infection, and helping patients move forward with confidence and peace of mind. Whether you’re experiencing pain, decay, or planning for future restorations such as implants, she ensures your care feels personal, calm, and carefully guided from start to finish.

Your comfort comes first. At your visit, Dr. Fernandez begins by reviewing your X-rays and discussing your treatment plan in detail. She’ll then apply a local anesthetic to numb the area completely before gently loosening and removing the tooth. For more complex cases, she may section the tooth into smaller pieces for easier removal, minimizing stress on surrounding tissues.

The entire process is typically quick and painless. Once the tooth is removed, Dr. Yeli carefully cleans the area and provides detailed aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing. She’ll also discuss options for tooth replacement if necessary—such as a dental implant or bridge—to maintain function and aesthetics.

Many patients in Coral Gables and the Douglas Road area choose Dr. Yeli because she treats every case with empathy and genuine concern. Whether you’re a teen with an impacted wisdom tooth or an adult facing extraction due to decay, you’ll receive the same level of attentiveness and respect.

Our office environment is warm and welcoming, designed to help you feel at ease. We know dental anxiety is real, and Dr. Fernandez’s calm, reassuring approach has helped countless patients overcome fear and leave feeling relieved and confident.

Healing time after an extraction varies by case, but most patients feel back to normal within a few days. Dr. Yeli will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including:

Bite gently on gauze to control bleeding.

• Avoid smoking, using straws, or vigorous rinsing for the first 24 hours.
• Eat soft foods like yogurt, soups, and mashed potatoes.
• Brush and floss carefully, avoiding the extraction site at first.
• Use prescribed pain medication or over-the-counter options as directed.

She’ll also schedule a follow-up to ensure your gums are healing properly and to discuss your next step toward restoring your smile.

• Soft-spoken, calming communication style.
• Advanced techniques for minimally invasive extractions.
• Comprehensive approach that includes follow-up and replacement planning.
• Genuine warmth and respect for every patient’s comfort and emotions.

Whether removing a single tooth or preparing for a larger treatment plan, Dr. Fernandez focuses on preserving your oral health and your confidence.
