Not every extraction is the same — a simple extraction with forceps is a different procedure than a surgical case requiring an elevator and sectioning, and our Tooth Extraction plan tells you upfront which category yours falls into.
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.
Whether it's one tooth or several in the same visit, you'll get a written estimate before the procedure begins.
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. Surgical cases involve a small incision and, occasionally, minor bone removal around the tooth.
Bone graft material placed in the socket immediately after extraction helps preserve ridge volume for future implant placement. Grafting adds minimal time to the procedure itself.
Multiple extractions are quoted together, with the full plan explained before starting. Recovery guidance accounts for multiple healing sites at once.
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. Any unusual bleeding or swelling after the first day should prompt a call.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
Same-day or same-week scheduling is available depending on urgency.
We determine whether your case is simple or surgical before quoting the procedure.
Multiple-tooth cases are quoted together with the full plan explained.
The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia, followed by clear written aftercare instructions.
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 Aetna Estates 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.
It's optional and worth discussing specifically if implant replacement is part of your plan.
We'll walk through the full aftercare list clearly before you leave the office.
Simple extractions typically heal within a few days; surgical extractions can take a week or more.
