What to Expect

Surprisingly, having a tooth pulled isn’t as complex of a procedure as what some people fear that it will be. In most cases it is very straightforward and results in relief of discomfort.
First, our dentist will numb around the tooth so that you don’t feel any discomfort. Some of our patients also request sedation, such as nitrous oxide to help them relax.

After Your Tooth Extraction Procedure

Caring for your extraction site can speed up the recovery process. Be sure not to drink out of a straw, use tobacco products, or aggressively clean the area for several days. Once the extraction site is healed, it’s necessary to replace the tooth in a timely manner. This prevents the adjacent teeth from moving or shifting out of place – something that can impact your entire bite. At Marco Prime Dental, we make a variety of tooth replacement options available to our patients – like dental implants and bridges. Prior to your extraction, we will review which options are most appropriate for your oral health goals.
