Tooth Extraction FAQs

Does an extraction hurt?
What most patients actually notice is pressure, not pain—it catches a lot of people off guard. We numb carefully, confirm you’re comfortable, and can stop at any point during the procedure.
How long does an extraction appointment take?
Most extraction appointments take around 30–60 minutes, factoring in numbing and aftercare review. More involved cases take more time.
What is the difference between a simple and surgical extraction?
A simple extraction is for a tooth that’s visible and comes out directly. A surgical extraction is required when the tooth is broken, below the gumline, or has more complex roots.
Can I get a same-day extraction?
In some cases, yes. We always confirm the diagnosis and check safety before moving forward. Same-day depends on swelling, infection level, and what the schedule allows. We see patients from all over the Dayton area—if it’s urgent, give us a call and we’ll do our best to get you in.
If I have an infection, do I need antibiotics first?
Not always. Many times, treating the source directly is the fastest path to feeling better. If antibiotics are the right call, we’ll explain why and what the timing looks like.
How much bleeding is normal after an extraction?
Light oozing right after the extraction is expected. If bleeding is heavy or not slowing down, give us a call and we’ll guide you through it.
How do I avoid dry socket?
For the first 48 hours, avoid smoking or vaping, skip straws, and stay away from forceful rinsing or spitting. Following your aftercare closely makes a real difference.
What can I eat after an extraction?
Stick to soft options to start: yogurt, eggs, mashed foods, pasta, soup that isn’t too hot, and smoothies without a straw. Crunchy, spicy, or seedy foods should wait until you’ve had some time to heal.
When can I return to work or exercise?
Normal activity within 48–72 hours is realistic for most people. Heavy exercise can increase the risk of bleeding early on, so we’ll give you guidance specific to your extraction.
Can I drive myself home?
If it was local numbing only, many patients are fine to drive themselves home. If sedation or comfort options were part of your visit, plan to have a driver.
Do I need to replace the tooth afterward?
Often, yes—back teeth especially. A bridge, partial, or implant are all options worth exploring. We’ll review what fits your goals and timeline.
If I want an implant later, is there anything to plan now?
Sometimes. A bone graft at the time of extraction can help protect the site if an implant is something you want later. We'll tell you whether that applies and explain your options.
