Extractions

Recovery after a tooth extraction varies depending on the type of extraction, your overall health, and how well you follow your aftercare instructions. Most patients begin feeling better within a few days, although complete healing can take several weeks.

After your extraction, it's normal to experience some tenderness, swelling, or mild discomfort. Following your post-treatment instructions can help support a smooth recovery. This may include avoiding certain foods, keeping the extraction site clean, and taking any recommended medications as directed.

At Robinson Family Dental, we focus on making your extraction experience as comfortable as possible from start to finish. Before your procedure, Dr. Robinson uses panoramic X-ray technology to get a full view of your teeth and jaw, helping plan your extraction with precision, and explains what to expect and answers any questions you have. During your visit, we offer comfort options like pillows and blankets, along with sedation options for qualifying patients.

Once your mouth has healed, we'll discuss options for replacing your missing tooth if needed. Depending on your goals, replacement options may include dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
