Smile Center Dentistry performs Tooth Extraction with socket-preservation grafting available when future implant placement is part of your plan.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Tooth Extraction, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
We determine upfront whether your case is a straightforward simple extraction or requires a more involved surgical approach.
We'll discuss whether grafting makes sense for your specific situation, not push it as a default add-on.
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.
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.
This step is optional and discussed specifically in the context of your long-term replacement plans. 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.
Sutures, if placed, are typically removed or dissolve within a week to ten days. Most patients heal without complication when aftercare instructions are followed.

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 Somers 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.
Avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing in the first few days protects the healing blood clot.
Simple extractions typically heal within a few days; surgical extractions can take a week or more.
We'll walk through what to expect for a multi-site recovery before scheduling.
Same-day dry socket treatment with a medicated dressing typically brings quick relief.
If you're unsure whether your part of Somers is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We provide Tooth Extraction to Somers patients with clear upfront pricing whether it's one tooth or several. Socket preservation and other add-on procedures are always discussed, never assumed.
