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.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Tooth Extraction is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
We determine upfront whether your case is a straightforward simple extraction or requires a more involved surgical approach.
If you're considering a future implant, socket-preservation grafting at the time of extraction protects bone volume.
Clear aftercare instructions and, when appropriate, a protective dressing reduce the risk of painful dry socket.
Multiple extractions are quoted together with any relevant discount for combining visits.
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. We'll review aftercare instructions clearly before you leave.
Teeth that are broken at the gumline, impacted, or have curved roots often require a surgical approach with sectioning. Recovery timelines are typically longer than for a simple extraction.
Bone graft material placed in the socket immediately after extraction helps preserve ridge volume for future implant placement. 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.
If dry socket does occur, same-day treatment with a medicated dressing brings quick relief. Call immediately if pain worsens rather than improves after day two or three.
Sutures, if placed, are typically removed or dissolve within a week to ten days. 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.
Multiple-tooth cases are quoted together with the full plan explained.
We're available by phone if anything feels off during the healing period.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Tooth Extraction treatment with us in the past year.
“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.
X-rays beforehand tell us which category your case falls into before we quote the procedure.
It's optional and worth discussing specifically if implant replacement is part of your plan.
We'll walk through the full aftercare list clearly before you leave the office.
Multiple extractions in one visit generally mean a slightly longer recovery period.
We'll walk through what to expect for a multi-site recovery before scheduling.
Worsening pain after day two or three can signal dry socket — call and we'll get you in the same day for treatment.
