Not every extraction is the same — a simple extraction with forceps is a different procedure than a surgical case requiring an elevator and sectioning, and our Tooth Extraction plan tells you upfront which category yours falls into.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Tooth Extraction is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
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.
Clear aftercare instructions and, when appropriate, a protective dressing reduce the risk of painful dry socket.
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. Recovery is typically brief, with normal activity resuming within a day or two.
We assess root shape and position via X-ray before deciding whether surgical technique is needed. Recovery timelines are typically longer than for a simple extraction.
This step is optional and discussed specifically in the context of your long-term replacement plans. Ask about this specifically if you're considering an implant down the road.
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. Any unusual bleeding or swelling after the first day should prompt a call.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
Tell us which tooth and any symptoms, and we'll schedule an X-ray and assessment.
We determine whether your case is simple or surgical before quoting the procedure.
You'll see the full cost, including any graft material, before the extraction is scheduled.
We're available by phone if anything feels off during the healing period.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Tooth Extraction.
“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.”
These are the questions Alpha patients ask most before booking Tooth Extraction.
A simple extraction removes a visible, erupted tooth with forceps; a surgical extraction involves an incision, often for impacted or broken teeth.
If you're thinking about a future implant, grafting at extraction time helps preserve bone volume for later.
We'll walk through the full aftercare list clearly before you leave the office.
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 Alpha 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.
