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?
Most visits run 30–60 minutes, including time to get numb and go over aftercare. More complex cases may take a bit longer.
What is the difference between a simple and surgical extraction?
A simple extraction is for a visible tooth that can be removed directly. A surgical extraction comes into play when the tooth is broken, below the gumline, or has more complex roots.
Can I get a same-day extraction?
Sometimes. We confirm the diagnosis and make sure it’s safe before anything else. Whether same-day works depends on swelling, infection level, and the schedule. If you’re coming from the Xenia 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 situations, removing the source is the fastest path to relief. If antibiotics are the right move, we’ll explain exactly why and what timing is safest.
How much bleeding is normal after an extraction?
Some light oozing early on is completely normal. If bleeding is heavy or just isn’t slowing, give us a call and we’ll guide you.
How do I avoid dry socket?
For the first 48 hours, avoid smoking and vaping, stay away from straws, and don’t rinse or spit forcefully. Follow your aftercare instructions closely.
What can I eat after an extraction?
Start soft: yogurt, eggs, mashed foods, pasta, soup that isn’t too hot, and smoothies without a straw. Hold off on anything crunchy, spicy, or seedy until you’ve had time to heal.
When can I return to work or exercise?
Most people are back to normal activity within 48–72 hours. Heavy exercise is worth skipping early on—it can increase bleeding risk. We’ll advise you based on your specific extraction.
Can I drive myself home?
With local numbing only, many patients can drive themselves home. If you chose any additional comfort options, you’ll want a driver.
Do I need to replace the tooth afterward?
Often, yes—back teeth in particular. Options include a bridge, partial, or implant. We’ll go over what fits your goals and timeline.
If I want an implant later, is there anything to plan now?
Sometimes. A bone graft at the extraction visit can protect the area for a future implant. We'll tell you whether that applies and explain your options.
