Extractions FAQs

How long does a typical tooth extraction procedure take, and what factors can affect the duration? Is there a significant difference in time between simple and surgical extractions? How long should I plan to be at the office for my extraction appointment, including preparation and immediate aftercare?

Simple extractions typically take 20-40 minutes, while surgical ones can take 30-60 minutes. Factors such as tooth location, complexity, and patient cooperation influence the total appointment time, which usually ranges from 1-2 hours.

We use local anesthesia for extractions. Sedation options are available for anxiety or complex cases. Choice based on procedure complexity, patient preference, and medical history. Minimal risks are discussed during consultation.

How long is the typical recovery period after a tooth extraction, and what can I do to promote faster healing? Are there any activities or foods I should avoid during recovery? How soon can I return to work or normal activities after having a tooth extracted?

Recovery usually takes 7-10 days. After the procedure, remember to follow aftercare instructions. Refrain from strenuous activity for 24-48 hours. Depending on the nature of your job, most people can return to work in 1-3 days.

What are the potential complications of tooth extraction, and how common are they? How do you minimize the risk of complications like dry socket or infection? If a complication does occur, what should I do, and how quickly can I be seen for follow-up care?

Complications rare: dry socket (1-5%), infection, bleeding. We minimize risks with sterile techniques and proper aftercare instructions. If complications occur, contact us immediately. We offer prompt follow-up care, usually same-day.

If I need to have multiple teeth extracted, can they all be done in one appointment, or is it better to space them out? How do you determine the best approach for multiple extractions? Are there any additional considerations or precautions for removing several teeth at once?

Multiple extractions are often done in one appointment if medically appropriate. Decisions are based on overall health, complexity, and patient preference. Additional considerations include a longer procedure time and an extended healing period. We discuss options during consultation.

After an extraction, what are my options for replacing the missing tooth? How soon after the extraction can I start the process for a dental implant, bridge, or other replacement? Are there any consequences of not replacing an extracted tooth, especially if it's not visible?

Replacement options: implants, bridges, partial dentures. Timing varies: immediate implants are possible, or you can wait 3-6 months for healing. Not replacing can lead to bone loss and shifting teeth. We discuss replacement options during the initial consultation.
