Process

Initial Consultation: Your visit starts with a thorough dental exam and X-rays to evaluate the tooth, surrounding bone and overall oral health. We’ll walk you through your treatment options and answer any questions so you feel confident moving forward.

Preparation: Before your extraction, we’ll provide detailed pre-op instructions. If sedation is part of your care plan, you may need to fast and arrange transportation home for your safety.

Tooth Removal: During the procedure, we’ll ensure that you’re comfortable with local anesthesia or sedation. The tooth is gently and precisely removed to minimize discomfort and promote a smooth recovery.

Next Steps

Post-Procedure Care: After your tooth removal, we’ll provide easy-to-follow aftercare instructions to help you heal properly and avoid complications like dry socket. These include guidance on managing discomfort, reducing swelling and keeping the area clean.

Recovery: Most patients recover within a few days to a week. Sticking to post-op advice—such as eating soft foods, avoiding smoking and getting plenty of rest—will support a smooth healing process. If anything feels off, don’t hesitate to reach out for a follow-up.

FAQ
