Smile Center Dentistry performs Tooth Extraction with socket-preservation grafting available when future implant placement is part of your plan.
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.
If you're considering a future implant, socket-preservation grafting at the time of extraction protects bone volume.
We walk through exactly what to avoid in the first 24 to 72 hours to protect the healing clot.
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. 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. Recovery timelines are typically longer than for a simple extraction.
This step is optional and discussed specifically in the context of your long-term replacement plans. Grafting adds minimal time to the procedure itself.
When several teeth need removal in one visit, we plan sedation and pacing carefully to keep the appointment manageable. 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.
Sutures, if placed, are typically removed or dissolve within a week to ten days. Any unusual bleeding or swelling after the first day should prompt a call.
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.
The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia, followed by clear written aftercare instructions.
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.
X-rays beforehand tell us which category your case falls into before we quote the procedure.
If you're thinking about a future implant, grafting at extraction time helps preserve bone volume for later.
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.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Tooth Extraction before you even finish describing your situation.
