Dental Extractions
Dental Extractions in Bayshore
Although the idea of removing teeth may seem scary to some, it often produces positive outcomes when it comes to your oral health. At our office, our dentists are familiar with the process of tooth removal and only recommend this procedure if it is absolutely essential. Whenever we deal with tooth extractions, our staff uses the most advanced techniques and technology in the field of dentistry. By using these state-of-the-art procedures, we are able to better prevent diseases from spreading.
Patients put off their dental work because they are afraid that they cannot afford the help of a dentist who has experience. Unfortunately, this leads to dental problems that can be painful and uncomfortable. There is a possibility that you may get an infection inside your mouth or gums if a tooth that needs to be removed is left untreated; this can harm your oral and overall health until the infection is treated.
We never wish for a patient to experience the feeling that a treatment is out of their reach due to their financial circumstances. This is why our office provides affordable tooth removal. Our affordable oral extraction offers the best solution for patients facing a tough budget, regardless of whether the teeth are being extracted because the teeth cannot be repaired or whether they need the extracted for dentures. Our primary objective is to treat patients in need.

Frequently asked questions
How long does tooth extraction take?
If you're just getting a single tooth extracted, the process will take you approximately twenty to forty minutes. You should, however, be prepared to spend a little more time in our office if you are having multiple teeth removed. If there are additional teeth, the appointment time will increase by 3-15 minutes, depending on each tooth's location.
How long does it take to heal after tooth removal?
In approximately six weeks after your surgery, your tooth hole will be fully or almost fully closed. It usually takes a few more months for the indentation to fully fill in and heal completely.
How much does tooth extraction cost?
An extraction of a tooth can vary widely in cost depending on the extent of the extraction. If you have an average health insurance policy, a dental extraction could cost you anywhere from $100 to $200 out of your own pocket. However, if you do not have insurance you would be expected to pay anywhere between $200 and $400. Be sure to come in for a consultation so we can give you an accurate estimate.
What happens after tooth extraction?
It is perfectly normal to experience some pain after the anesthesia wears off. As a result of the tooth being pulled, you should also expect some swelling and residual bleeding for the first 24 hours. As a result, if your tooth is still causing severe pain or severe bleeding more than four hours after it has been pulled, contact your dentist immediately.
What are the reasons someone would need tooth extraction?
A dentist may recommend tooth extractions as a result of a tooth impact, tooth decay, periodontitis, gum disease, trauma, or overcrowded teeth. If you think you need a tooth extraction, contact us today to schedule an appointment.
What are the side effects and risks of tooth extraction?
When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth may shift or move into the empty space left by the missing tooth. You may also have difficulty chewing, speaking, and eating depending on the number of teeth extracted. It is important to discuss a plan with the dentist for after your tooth extraction - you may need a dental bridge, implants, orthodontics or dentures depending on your unique situation.
Although the procedure of extracting a tooth is generally very safe, it can also allow harmful bacteria to enter the bloodstream. It is important to remember that gum tissue may also be susceptible to infection. You may need to take antibiotics before and after the extraction if you have a condition that puts you at high risk for developing an infection.
Can anyone get tooth extraction?
It is important to understand that tooth extraction isn't always the best option for everyone. For your dental health, it would be advisable for you to visit our office and have a consultation with your dentist to discuss the options you have available to you. Often, removing the affected tooth gives you the best chance at achieving optimal oral health, but this is not always the case.
