Common Questions

Is extraction really painless?

Yes. We use effective local anesthesia so you should not feel pain during the procedure — only pressure. Sedation options can be discussed for anxious patients.

When can I eat after extraction?

Wait until numbness wears off, then stick to soft, cool foods for the first 24 hours.

What about replacing the missing tooth?

We will discuss implants, bridges, or dentures at your follow-up so you can plan the best replacement option.
