- Simple tooth extractions are performed by highly skilled professionals in order to minimize pain and discomfort for the patient.


How does a tooth extraction procedure work?
The tooth extraction process typically begins with local anesthesia, numbing the area around the tooth. Once the tooth is numb, the dentist will use an elevator to loosen the tooth from its socket and use forceps to remove it from the mouth. In some cases, a bone graft may be necessary to fill in the empty socket left behind by the extracted tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does pain last after a tooth extraction?
You may feel pressure after having an impacted tooth removed. Or, you may feel pain after having a tooth pulled that requires cutting through the gum tissue. The discomfort usually worsens immediately after the tooth is extracted and gradually subsides as the area heals. In most cases, people feel better within a few days to a week after extraction. However, it can take several weeks for the area to heal completely.
What restrictions do we need to follow after a tooth extraction?
For the first 24 hours, you should avoid rinsing your mouth, spitting, or using a straw, as this can loosen the blood clot at the extraction site. You should also avoid drinking alcohol or smoking for at least 24 hours. Additionally, you should brush and floss gently around the extraction site for the first few days, as the area will be tender.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
Tooth extraction usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. The length of time depends on the tooth being extracted. If the tooth is visible, it may take less time. It may take longer if the tooth is impacted (below the gums).
