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.
X-rays before the procedure show root shape and position, avoiding surprises mid-extraction.
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.
Here's the range of Tooth Extraction our Piketon team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
Straightforward extractions of visible, fully erupted teeth are performed with local anesthesia and elevator-and-forceps technique. We'll review aftercare instructions clearly before you leave.
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. Ask about this specifically if you're considering an implant down the road.
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.
Following aftercare instructions closely is the biggest factor in avoiding dry socket, and we walk through it clearly before you leave. 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.
Tell us which tooth and any symptoms, and we'll schedule an X-ray and assessment.
We determine whether your case is simple or surgical before quoting the procedure.
You'll see the full cost, including any graft material, before the extraction is scheduled.
We're available by phone if anything feels off during the healing period.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Tooth Extraction treatment with us in the past year.
“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 Piketon patients ask most before booking Tooth Extraction.
X-rays beforehand tell us which category your case falls into before we quote the procedure.
If you're thinking about a future implant, grafting at extraction time helps preserve bone volume for later.
We'll walk through the full aftercare list clearly before you leave the office.
Multiple extractions in one visit generally mean a slightly longer recovery period.
We'll walk through what to expect for a multi-site recovery before scheduling.
Worsening pain after day two or three can signal dry socket — call and we'll get you in the same day for treatment.
If you're unsure whether your part of Piketon is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
