• How long does a Surgical Tooth Extraction take?

  A surgical tooth extraction can take up to an hour or more to complete, depending on various factors such as the location and complexity of the tooth.

• Is a Surgical Tooth Extraction Painful?

  Surgical tooth extraction may cause some discomfort or pain, but typically, the procedure itself is not painful since the area around the tooth will be numb due to the local anesthesia. You may feel some pressure or movement as the dentist or oral surgeon removes the tooth, but this should not be painful. After the surgery, you may experience some discomfort or pain as the anesthesia wears off and the area begins to heal. However, your dentist or oral surgeon will typically prescribe pain medications or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to help manage any pain or discomfort. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the dentist or oral surgeon and to contact them if you experience severe or persistent pain or other complications.

• What are some reasons for a Surgical Tooth Extraction?

  If a tooth breaks off during the procedure, for instance, it may need to be taken out in pieces. Removing severely broken down teeth, root tips or teeth with long-curved roots are examples of surgical extractions. Then there are times when the bone around a tooth has become dense, resulting in the need for surgical treatment.

• What's the difference between a Simple and Surgical Extraction?

  When a tooth is visible above the gum line and your dentist can easily remove it with forceps, the procedure is called a simple or basic extraction. If a more volatile tooth has yet to grow in, however, your dentist needs to remove gum tissue or bone to extract it. This is called a surgical extraction and requires stitches to close the site so that it can heal properly. The Dentist may also prescribe a more specific pain medication following the procedure.
