Not every extraction is the same — a simple extraction with forceps is a different procedure than a surgical case requiring an elevator and sectioning, and our Tooth Extraction plan tells you upfront which category yours falls into.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Tooth Extraction, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
We determine upfront whether your case is a straightforward simple extraction or requires a more involved surgical approach.
We'll discuss whether grafting makes sense for your specific situation, not push it as a default add-on.
Clear aftercare instructions and, when appropriate, a protective dressing reduce the risk of painful dry socket.
Whether it's one tooth or several in the same visit, you'll get a written estimate before the procedure begins.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
Most simple extractions take only a few minutes once numbing has fully taken effect. Recovery is typically brief, with normal activity resuming within a day or two.
We assess root shape and position via X-ray before deciding whether surgical technique is needed. Surgical cases involve a small incision and, occasionally, minor bone removal around the tooth.
This step is optional and discussed specifically in the context of your long-term replacement plans. Grafting adds minimal time to the procedure itself.
Multiple extractions are quoted together, with the full plan explained before starting. We'll check in on healing progress more closely after a multi-tooth procedure.
Following aftercare instructions closely is the biggest factor in avoiding dry socket, and we walk through it clearly before you leave. Call immediately if pain worsens rather than improves after day two or three.
We check healing progress at a follow-up visit, especially after surgical or multiple extractions. Most patients heal without complication when aftercare instructions are followed.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
Tell us which tooth and any symptoms, and we'll schedule an X-ray and assessment.
Root shape and position guide the approach and anesthesia plan.
You'll see the full cost, including any graft material, before the extraction is scheduled.
We're available by phone if anything feels off during the healing period.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Tooth Extraction.
“They told me upfront it would be a surgical extraction, not a simple one, and explained exactly why before starting.”
“Socket preservation grafting was explained clearly since I'm planning an implant in a few months. No pressure either way.”
“Had three teeth out in one visit and the aftercare instructions actually made sense, unlike the vague sheet I got years ago elsewhere.”
“Developed dry socket a few days later and they got me in same-day for a dressing that brought relief almost immediately.”
“Simple extraction was quick, painless once numb, and I was back to normal within a day.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Tooth Extraction.
A simple extraction removes a visible, erupted tooth with forceps; a surgical extraction involves an incision, often for impacted or broken teeth.
It's optional and worth discussing specifically if implant replacement is part of your plan.
Avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing in the first few days protects the healing blood clot.
Multiple extractions in one visit generally mean a slightly longer recovery period.
Yes, we plan pacing and anesthesia carefully for multi-tooth cases and quote them together upfront.
Worsening pain after day two or three can signal dry socket — call and we'll get you in the same day for treatment.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Tooth Extraction before you even finish describing your situation.
