About Extractions
A tooth extraction removes a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed beyond repair, or causing crowding or other problems. Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth using local anesthesia. Surgical extractions may be needed for impacted teeth or teeth that have broken at the gumline. The procedure is typically quick, and most patients manage recovery comfortably with over-the-counter pain relief. A blood clot forms in the socket and healing usually takes one to two weeks. Your dentist will provide specific aftercare instructions and discuss tooth replacement options if appropriate.
