Common Questions About Tooth Extraction
Is tooth extraction painful?
With modern anesthesia techniques, you should feel no pain during the extraction. Some discomfort and swelling are normal after the procedure, but this can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within 1-2 weeks for simple extractions. Surgical extractions may require 2-3 weeks. You can usually return to normal activities within a few days, following our aftercare instructions.
When should I replace an extracted tooth?
It's generally recommended to replace missing teeth within 3-6 months to prevent bone loss and shifting of adjacent teeth. We'll discuss replacement options during your consultation.
