Whether it's one tooth or several, our Tooth Extraction approach includes clear aftercare instructions so healing goes smoothly, not just a quick procedure and a rushed goodbye.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Tooth Extraction, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
We determine upfront whether your case is a straightforward simple extraction or requires a more involved surgical approach.
If you're considering a future implant, socket-preservation grafting at the time of extraction protects bone volume.
We walk through exactly what to avoid in the first 24 to 72 hours to protect the healing clot.
Multiple extractions are quoted together with any relevant discount for combining visits.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
Straightforward extractions of visible, fully erupted teeth are performed with local anesthesia and elevator-and-forceps technique. We'll review aftercare instructions clearly before you leave.
Teeth that are broken at the gumline, impacted, or have curved roots often require a surgical approach with sectioning. Surgical cases involve a small incision and, occasionally, minor bone removal around the tooth.
Bone graft material placed in the socket immediately after extraction helps preserve ridge volume for future implant placement. Grafting adds minimal time to the procedure itself.
When several teeth need removal in one visit, we plan sedation and pacing carefully to keep the appointment manageable. We'll check in on healing progress more closely after a multi-tooth procedure.
If dry socket does occur, same-day treatment with a medicated dressing brings quick relief. Avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing in the first days protects the healing clot.
Sutures, if placed, are typically removed or dissolve within a week to ten days. Any unusual bleeding or swelling after the first day should prompt a call.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Tooth Extraction at any of our affiliated offices.

We're available by phone if anything feels off during the healing period.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Tooth Extraction treatment with us in the past year.
“They told me upfront it would be a surgical extraction, not a simple one, and explained exactly why before starting.”
“Socket preservation grafting was explained clearly since I'm planning an implant in a few months. No pressure either way.”
“Had three teeth out in one visit and the aftercare instructions actually made sense, unlike the vague sheet I got years ago elsewhere.”
“Developed dry socket a few days later and they got me in same-day for a dressing that brought relief almost immediately.”
“Simple extraction was quick, painless once numb, and I was back to normal within a day.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Tooth Extraction.
X-rays beforehand tell us which category your case falls into before we quote the procedure.
If you're thinking about a future implant, grafting at extraction time helps preserve bone volume for later.
Avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing in the first few days protects the healing blood clot.
Simple extractions typically heal within a few days; surgical extractions can take a week or more.
Yes, we plan pacing and anesthesia carefully for multi-tooth cases and quote them together upfront.
Worsening pain after day two or three can signal dry socket — call and we'll get you in the same day for treatment.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Tooth Extraction before you even finish describing your situation.
We provide Tooth Extraction to Lackawanna patients with clear upfront pricing whether it's one tooth or several. Ask about combining an assessment visit with same-day extraction if your schedule is tight.
