The Tooth Extraction Process
First, our team will review your oral health, take X-rays to evaluate the affected tooth and surrounding area, and, based on what we learn, confirm if tooth extraction is best.
On the day of your extraction appointment, local anesthesia is provided for comfort. We also have laughing gas available and oral sedation options. Once everything is set, your dentist will remove the affected tooth (or teeth) efficiently and comfortably.

Following Your Tooth Extraction
Proper aftercare helps ensure smooth healing after a tooth extraction. Bite down on gauze to control bleeding, and avoid rinsing or spitting for 24 hours. Stick to soft foods, keep your head elevated, and avoid using straws or smoking. Ice packs are helpful for swelling. Please take any prescribed medications as directed. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always here for questions during your recovery.
