Tooth Extraction FAQs

Does an extraction hurt?
Pressure is what most patients notice—not pain. We numb carefully, check that you’re fully comfortable before starting, and can pause whenever needed.
How long does an extraction appointment take?
Plan on about 30–60 minutes for most visits, which covers numbing and going through aftercare. More involved extractions take longer.
What is the difference between a simple and surgical extraction?
A simple extraction removes a tooth that’s visible and accessible. A surgical extraction is needed when the tooth is broken, positioned below the gumline, or has more complex roots.
Can I get a same-day extraction?
Sometimes, yes. The first step is always confirming the diagnosis and checking that it’s safe to proceed. Same-day is possible depending on swelling, infection level, and availability in the schedule. If you’re coming from the Springfield area, give us a call and we’ll get you in as soon as we can.
If I have an infection, do I need antibiotics first?
Not always—treating the source directly is often the quickest fix. If antibiotics are appropriate for your situation, we’ll explain why and go over the timing with you.
How much bleeding is normal after an extraction?
Light oozing at the start is normal. If bleeding becomes heavy or won’t slow down, call us and we’ll walk you through what to do.
How do I avoid dry socket?
For the first 48 hours, avoid smoking and vaping, skip straws, and refrain from forceful rinsing or spitting. Your aftercare instructions will cover everything to watch for.
What can I eat after an extraction?
Keep it soft to start: yogurt, eggs, mashed foods, pasta, soup that isn’t too hot, and smoothies without a straw. Avoid anything crunchy, spicy, or seedy in the early days.
When can I return to work or exercise?
Many people pick up their normal routine within 48–72 hours. Heavy exercise can raise bleeding risk early on, so we’ll give you guidance based on your extraction.
Can I drive myself home?
If local numbing was all that was used, many patients drive themselves home. If you opted for any additional comfort options, plan to have a driver.
Do I need to replace the tooth afterward?
Often, yes—particularly for back teeth. A bridge, partial, or implant may be an option. We’ll review what makes sense for your goals and timeline.
If I want an implant later, is there anything to plan now?
Sometimes. Bone grafting done at the extraction appointment can help preserve the site for a future implant. We'll let you know if that's relevant and explain all your options.
