Frequently Asked Questions
Is tooth extraction painful?
The extraction itself is not painful as we use effective local anesthesia to completely numb the area. You'll feel pressure but no pain. After the anesthesia wears off, some discomfort is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
A simple extraction typically takes 15-30 minutes. Surgical extractions and wisdom teeth may take 45-60 minutes depending on complexity. We'll give you a time estimate during your consultation.
What are my options after extraction?
Depending on your situation, we can replace extracted teeth with dental implants (the best option for permanent replacement), bridges, or partial dentures. We'll discuss all options during your consultation.
When can I eat after a tooth extraction?
You can eat soft foods once the anesthesia wears off. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods for the first few days. Stay away from the extraction site when chewing.
