What to expect at your visit
The appointment begins with a conversation about your symptoms, goals, dental history, and concerns. The dentist may recommend digital X-rays, photos, bite evaluation, gum measurements, or 3D imaging depending on the service. Before treatment begins, the team explains findings, priorities, estimated timing, and available options so you can make an informed decision.

Tooth Extraction FAQs
Is extraction always the only option?
No. The dentist reviews whether a filling, crown, root canal, or periodontal treatment could save the tooth first.
How long does healing take?
Initial healing often begins within days, but full bone and gum healing takes longer.
Should I replace an extracted tooth?
Often yes, especially if the missing tooth affects chewing, spacing, or bite stability.
What is the difference between a simple and surgical extraction?
A simple extraction removes a tooth that can be accessed without surgically exposing it. Surgical extraction may involve an incision or dividing the tooth into sections. The approach depends on the tooth's position, roots, condition, and surrounding structures.
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
Local anesthesia is used so you should not feel sharp pain during removal, although pressure or movement may be noticeable. Tell the dentist if you feel pain. Postoperative soreness varies with the procedure and is managed using your personalized care instructions.
What can I eat after a tooth extraction?
Soft foods and adequate fluids are usually recommended early in healing. Avoid chewing on the extraction area and follow instructions about hot foods, straws, and rinsing. Wait until numbness has worn off before chewing so you do not injure your cheek or tongue.
What is dry socket?
Dry socket is a painful complication in which the protective blood clot is lost or does not develop properly. Worsening pain several days after an extraction should be assessed by the dentist. Following instructions about smoking, rinsing, and oral care can reduce risk.
When should I call the dentist after an extraction?
Call for persistent bleeding despite following instructions, worsening pain, increasing swelling, fever, or concerns about healing. Breathing or swallowing difficulty requires emergency medical care. The office can explain what is expected for your specific procedure.
How much does extraction and tooth replacement cost?
Extraction costs vary with complexity and any additional procedures. Replacement options are estimated separately. Dental implants at Saryan Dental start from $2,600 per tooth; this is not a combined extraction-and-replacement quote. An examination can establish the complete plan.
