Smile Center Dentistry performs Tooth Extraction with socket-preservation grafting available when future implant placement is part of your plan.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Tooth Extraction is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
X-rays before the procedure show root shape and position, avoiding surprises mid-extraction.
If you're considering a future implant, socket-preservation grafting at the time of extraction protects bone volume.
Clear aftercare instructions and, when appropriate, a protective dressing reduce the risk of painful dry socket.
Whether it's one tooth or several in the same visit, you'll get a written estimate before the procedure begins.
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. Recovery is typically brief, with normal activity resuming within a day or two.
Teeth that are broken at the gumline, impacted, or have curved roots often require a surgical approach with sectioning. Recovery timelines are typically longer than for a simple extraction.
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.
Multiple extractions are quoted together, with the full plan explained before starting. 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. Call immediately if pain worsens rather than improves after day two or three.
We check healing progress at a follow-up visit, especially after surgical or multiple extractions. Most patients heal without complication when aftercare instructions are followed.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Tooth Extraction at any of our affiliated offices.
Same-day or same-week scheduling is available depending on urgency.

“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.
A simple extraction removes a visible, erupted tooth with forceps; a surgical extraction involves an incision, often for impacted or broken teeth.
It's optional and worth discussing specifically if implant replacement is part of your plan.
We'll walk through the full aftercare list clearly before you leave the office.
Multiple extractions in one visit generally mean a slightly longer recovery period.
