🦷 Cracked or fractured teeth below the gumline

🦷 Impacted or crowded wisdom teeth

🦷 Orthodontic treatment planning

🦷 Preparation for dentures or implants

FAQ – Tooth Extractions

Is a tooth extraction painful?

No β€” the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. You may feel pressure but not pain. Sedation is available if needed.

How long does it take to heal?

Most simple extractions heal in 7–10 days. Surgical extractions may take a bit longer.

What can I eat after an extraction?

Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or smoothies for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods until healed.

Can I get a replacement tooth right away?

Yes, in many cases we can provide a temporary tooth or denture the same day β€” thanks to our in-house dental lab.
