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.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Tooth Extraction, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
X-rays before the procedure show root shape and position, avoiding surprises mid-extraction.
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.
This step is optional and discussed specifically in the context of your long-term replacement plans. Ask about this specifically if you're considering an implant down the road.
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. Avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing in the first days protects the healing clot.
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.
Same-day or same-week scheduling is available depending on urgency.
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.
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.”
These are the questions Faxon patients ask most before booking Tooth Extraction.
A simple extraction removes a visible, erupted tooth with forceps; a surgical extraction involves an incision, often for impacted or broken teeth.
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.
