A simple step toward better oral health.
What Is Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While our goal is always to save natural teeth, extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, or damaged beyond repair. They’re also common before orthodontic treatments or when wisdom teeth cause crowding or pain.
At Prime Dental, we use gentle techniques and modern anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. Our dentists carefully assess your condition, plan the extraction with precision, and guide you through every step — including post-extraction care and options for tooth replacement like implants or bridges.

Why Tooth Extraction Can Help?
While the idea of losing a tooth might sound intimidating, extractions can prevent bigger problems down the road. Removing an infected or severely damaged tooth stops pain, halts the spread of infection, and helps preserve the health of surrounding teeth and gums.
It also opens the door for long-term solutions like dental implants or bridges, restoring full function and a natural look. With expert care and proper aftercare, healing is quick, and discomfort is minimal — allowing you to move forward with a healthier, pain-free smile.

Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions.
Still curious about this treatment? Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask — and our honest, straightforward answers.
Does tooth extraction hurt?
Not at all. Local anesthesia ensures you don’t feel pain during the procedure. You may feel some mild pressure but no sharp pain. Some soreness afterward is normal and easily managed with pain relief medication.
How long does it take to heal after extraction?
Most people heal within 7–10 days. Following aftercare instructions — like avoiding hard foods and not smoking — helps speed up recovery.
Will I need a replacement tooth afterward?
If a permanent tooth is removed, replacing it with an implant, bridge, or denture is recommended to prevent bone loss and maintain proper bite alignment.
Can all teeth be extracted the same way?
No. Some extractions are simple, while others (like impacted wisdom teeth) may require surgical techniques. Our dentists evaluate your case and plan the best approach.
What should I avoid after a tooth extraction?
Avoid spitting, using straws, or smoking for at least 24–48 hours. These actions can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing. Stick to soft foods and keep the area clean as instructed.
