Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need a tooth extraction?
Extractions are performed when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, crowded, or diseased to be saved with a filling, crown, or root canal.
Is a tooth extraction painful?
The area is thoroughly numbed before the procedure, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain during the extraction itself.
Is bleeding normal after an extraction?
Yes, a small amount of bleeding is expected as your mouth forms a blood clot in the socket where the tooth root used to be.
What should I do after my extraction?
Our extraction post-op instructions walk you through exactly what to do, and avoid, in the days following your procedure.
What are my options for replacing an extracted tooth?
Depending on your needs, we may recommend a dental implant, bridge, or partial to replace the missing tooth.
Are wisdom teeth extractions different from regular extractions?
