Schedule Your AppointmentWill I Be Missing My Tooth Forever?
While some patients choose not to have their tooth replaced, there are options to replace an extracted tooth. We offer several restorative dentistry options here in our office for your convenience. Once the extraction site has healed, you can explore options for a prosthetic tooth with your dentist.
Do Tooth Extractions Hurt?
This can vary from patient to patient. While your oral surgeon will take all necessary measures to make the process as comfortable as possible, including anesthesia, you may still experience some discomfort during the procedure. Understand that this should not be an alarming or unbearable amount of pain. If you’re experiencing extreme pain, alert your dentist immediately. They’ll be able to administer more anesthesia or consider a different approach.
What Can I Expect Following A Tooth Extraction?
Expect swelling, bruising, some pain, and possibly some bleeding. To mitigate this discomfort and reduce the risk of infection, your dentist may prescribe pain medications or antibiotics. Be sure to follow all prescription and aftercare instructions to ensure a speedy and problem-free recovery.
