Benefits of Professional Tooth Extractions
Professional tooth extractions offer significant health benefits when performed by skilled dental professionals. Pain relief is often immediate when removing severely infected or damaged teeth that cause chronic discomfort. Tooth extractions also prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums, protecting your overall oral health. Additionally, removing problematic teeth creates space for proper alignment and can facilitate future restorative treatments like dental implants or orthodontic work. Our gentle approach ensures minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, promoting faster healing and recovery.
Our Comprehensive Extraction Process
At Grand View Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we begin every tooth extraction with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition and surrounding structures. Local anesthesia ensures complete comfort during the procedure, and we offer sedation options for anxious patients. Our dentist then uses specialized instruments to carefully loosen and remove the tooth while preserving surrounding bone and tissue. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to ensure proper healing. Our team monitors your recovery and is available to address any concerns throughout the healing process.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tooth Extractions
How long does recovery take after tooth extractions?
Most patients experience initial healing within 3-5 days, with complete healing occurring over 1-2 weeks. Following our post-operative care instructions can help speed up the recovery process.
What can I eat after tooth extractions?
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, soup, and smoothies for the first few days, gradually returning to normal foods as healing progresses. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that might irritate the extraction site.

With proper anesthesia, you should feel no pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications. Our team is always available to help manage any discomfort.
