What is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While we always strive to preserve your natural teeth, extraction may be necessary to maintain your oral health. Extractions may be necessary for a variety of reasons, including severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or damage beyond repair.

Tooth Extractions FAQs

If you have any questions about tooth extractions, we’ve got answers.

Is tooth extraction painful?

We use local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring your comfort during the extraction. You may experience some discomfort after the anesthesia wears off, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

Can I eat normally after a tooth extraction?

It is important to avoid eating hard or chewy foods for the first few days, as this can irritate the extraction site and slow down the healing process. Instead, stick to soft foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as soup, yogurt, or mashed potatoes. As you begin to feel more comfortable, you can gradually reintroduce solid foods into your diet, but be sure to follow your dentist’s instructions and avoid foods that may be too hot or spicy.

Can I replace a tooth after extraction?

Yes, options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures can replace missing teeth and restore function.

Will my insurance cover tooth extraction?

Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of tooth extraction. Our team can help you understand your coverage and discuss payment options.
