You shouldn’t feel pain during the extraction. We numb the area, so you’ll feel pressure and movement but not sharp pain. Mild soreness afterward is normal, and we’ll give you a plan to keep it under control.

Most people feel much better within a few days and are back to normal routines in roughly 3 to 7 days, depending on how complex the removal was. Swelling and tenderness tend to be worst in the first two to three days. To help your healing:

• Use cold compresses during the first day.
• Stick to soft foods.
• Skip straws, smoking, and hard rinsing.
• Follow the aftercare instructions we give you.

Dry socket occurs when the blood clot that protects the extraction site comes loose too soon, exposing the bone underneath. It usually causes throbbing pain a few days after surgery that regular pain relievers don’t touch. You can lower your risk by avoiding smoking, straws, and spitting, and by eating soft foods at first. If your pain suddenly gets worse, call us so we can treat it.

Pricing depends on how many teeth need to come out, how deeply they are impacted, and what type of anesthesia you choose. A simple extraction costs less than a surgical one. We’ll give you a clear treatment plan and estimate before we begin, and our team can help you check your coverage and explore payment options.
