The Tooth Extraction Process

Man getting his teeth checked, scottsdale azWe understand the thought of tooth extraction can be daunting. At Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry, we use advanced technology and soothing sedation options to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience.

The process begins with an initial consultation, where Dr. Clark will conduct a thorough examination and take x-rays to determine if extraction is necessary. Before we begin, we numb the area with local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation are also available for your comfort.

Depending on the complexity of the extraction, we may remove the tooth in one piece or break it into smaller sections for easier removal. After the procedure, our team will provide detailed post-extraction instructions to help you manage any discomfort and ensure proper healing.

Cost of Tooth Extraction at Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry

At Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry, tooth extractions range from $300 to $700, depending on the tooth’s location, condition, and whether the extraction is simple or surgical. Extractions are sometimes necessary to address severe decay, infection, or overcrowding and are performed with a focus on comfort and care. Please note that these prices do not include insurance coverage, and out-of-pocket costs can vary significantly based on your provider and plan. Our team will provide a clear treatment plan and help you understand your options before moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Man getting prepped for tooth extraction, scottsdale azAt Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer a full range of services to help you maintain a healthy smile for a lifetime. Even so, there are times when it’s in the best interest of your oral health and safety to remove a problematic tooth.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction

There are several reasons why Dr. Clark might recommend removing a tooth as the most sensible option:

  • Severe Decay or Damage — When damage is extensive, and we’ve exhausted all options to preserve it, extraction may be the only option to prevent further infection or complications.
  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth — Wisdom teeth can become impacted, leading to pain, infection, or alignment issues. Extraction is often the best solution to avoid these complications.
  • Overcrowding — Extraction may be recommended before orthodontic treatment to create space and ensure proper alignment of the remaining teeth.
  • Infection or Abscess — Extraction may be required if the infection has reached the tooth’s pulp or surrounding bone and cannot be effectively treated with a root canal.
  • Periodontal Disease — Advanced gum disease can loosen teeth, and the only option to maintain oral health is to remove them.
  • Preparation for Dentures or Implants — Extraction may be needed to remove unhealthy teeth before fitting dentures or placing dental implants.

If you need a tooth extraction in Scottsdale, AZ, you can count on Dr. Clark and our dental team to ensure a safe, comfortable procedure. Call us today at (480) 585-1853 so we can provide the expert care you need.

But how long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction? Keep reading to learn more.

Recovering from a Tooth Extraction: What You Need to Know

Your recovery time may vary depending on which tooth was removed and whether it was a surgical extraction. In most cases, recovery time ranges from seven days to two weeks.

  • During the first 24 hours after an extraction, you could experience soreness, swelling, and light bleeding. This is normal as the clot forms.
  • Once the clot forms in 24 to 48 hours, the bleeding will stop, and you shouldn’t be feeling any discomfort.
  • After three days, your tooth socket will be mostly healed, but it will take a bit longer for it to heal completely.

Nitrous Oxide

If you prefer more relaxation during dental procedures, nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective option. Administered through a comfortable mask, nitrous oxide works quickly to ease anxiety and reduce discomfort without putting the patient to sleep. Its effects wear off almost immediately after the procedure, allowing patients to resume their daily activities with minimal downtime. This makes it an ideal choice for those nervous or uneasy about dental visits.
