  • Reduces swelling quickly

Protects adjacent teeth

  • Prevents decay spread
  • Avoids pressure damage
  • Maintains bite stability

Prepares for replacement

  • Ideal timing for implant
  • Bone preservation planning
  • Bridge or denture options

Quick recovery

  • Most heal in 1–2 weeks
  • Minimal disruption
  • Back to normal routine fast

When tooth extraction may be recommended

Extraction is considered when a tooth cannot be restored or when keeping it would cause more harm than good. Early evaluation helps make the process simpler and more comfortable.

Severe decay or fracture

Tooth too damaged to restore with filling, crown, or root canal.

  • Deep cavity into nerve
  • Cracked to root
  • Non-restorable structure

Advanced infection / abscess

Infection that cannot be resolved with root canal or antibiotics alone.

  • Persistent swelling
  • Severe pain / pus
  • Bone loss around root

Crowding or impaction

Wisdom teeth or other teeth causing damage, pain, or alignment issues.

  • Impacted wisdom teeth
  • Orthodontic crowding
  • Damage to adjacent teeth

Severe mobility / bone loss

Advanced periodontal disease where tooth support is no longer viable.

  • Loose tooth
  • Significant bone loss
  • Recurrent infection
Luxury detail that matters
Gentle extractions use precise technique, strong anesthesia, and careful socket preservation when possible. Clear aftercare minimizes discomfort and supports fast, clean healing—setting the stage for comfortable function and future restoration.

How long is recovery
Most patients feel significantly better within 3–5 days. Full soft-tissue healing usually takes 1–2 weeks; bone remodeling continues over months—ideal timing for implants if planned.

Aftercare tips after tooth extraction

Following these simple steps helps control bleeding, reduce swelling, prevent complications, and support fast healing.

1
Control bleeding
Bite firmly on gauze 30–60 min; avoid rinsing/spitting first 24 h.
2
Manage swelling & pain
Ice packs first 24–48 h; prescribed or OTC pain relief as directed.
3
Protect the clot
No straws, smoking, vigorous rinsing, or hard/spicy foods for several days.
4
Follow-up as advised
Return if bleeding persists, severe pain/swelling, or any concerns arise.

Tooth extraction FAQ

Honest answers about pain, recovery, bone preservation, and replacement options.

Does tooth extraction hurt
No—the area is fully numbed before we begin. Most patients feel pressure but no pain during the procedure. Aftercare medication and ice keep discomfort minimal.
How long does healing take
Bleeding usually stops within hours. Soft tissue closes in 1–2 weeks. Bone remodeling takes months—perfect timing for implants if that’s your plan.
Will there be a lot of swelling
Mild to moderate swelling is common the first 2–3 days. Ice packs, head elevation, and anti-inflammatories help keep it under control.
Can I replace the tooth right away
Immediate implants are sometimes possible. Most cases benefit from 2–6 months of healing before implant placement. Bridges or partial dentures can be options sooner.
What happens if I don’t replace the tooth
Adjacent teeth may shift, bite alignment can change, bone loss occurs over time, and chewing efficiency decreases. Replacement usually improves long-term function and appearance.
Do you offer sedation for extractions
Yes—conscious sedation is available for anxious patients or more complex extractions. We discuss your comfort needs during consultation.
