Tooth Extraction FAQs

Does an extraction hurt?
Most patients expect pain and end up surprised—it's mostly pressure. We numb thoroughly, confirm you're comfortable, and can stop at any point.
How long does an extraction appointment take?
Expect about 30–60 minutes for a typical extraction visit, which includes time to get numb and review aftercare. More complex cases will take longer.
What is the difference between a simple and surgical extraction?
A simple extraction applies to a tooth that’s visible and can be removed without extra steps. A surgical extraction is used when the tooth is broken, sitting below the gumline, or has more complex roots.
Can I get a same-day extraction?
Possibly. We start by confirming the diagnosis and making sure same-day is safe. Whether it’s an option depends on swelling, infection level, and the day’s schedule. If you're coming from the Huber Heights area, call ahead and we'll do our best to fit you in.
If I have an infection, do I need antibiotics first?
Not always. In many cases, the fastest route to relief is removing the source. If antibiotics are called for, we’ll tell you exactly why and how to time them.
How much bleeding is normal after an extraction?
A little light oozing right after an extraction is normal. If bleeding gets heavy or won’t slow, call us and we’ll tell you what to do.
How do I avoid dry socket?
For the first 48 hours, steer clear of smoking and vaping, don’t use straws, and avoid any forceful rinsing or spitting. Follow your aftercare steps carefully.
What can I eat after an extraction?
Go soft at first: yogurt, eggs, mashed foods, pasta, soup (not too hot), and smoothies without a straw. Crunchy, spicy, and seedy foods are best avoided until healing is underway.
When can I return to work or exercise?
Getting back to normal activity within 48–72 hours is common for most patients. Heavy exercise is worth holding off on early—it can increase bleeding risk. We’ll advise based on what your extraction involved.
Can I drive myself home?
Local numbing only? Many patients drive themselves home without any issue. Any additional comfort options mean you’ll want someone else behind the wheel.
Do I need to replace the tooth afterward?
Often, yes—especially for back teeth where the gap can affect your bite. A bridge, partial, or implant are all worth considering. We’ll walk you through what fits your goals and timeline.
If I want an implant later, is there anything to plan now?
Sometimes. Planning ahead with a bone graft at the extraction visit can help protect the site for a future implant. We'll let you know if it applies and go over all your options.
