Process
Initial Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays to assess the tooth, surrounding bone, and overall oral health. Dr. Haider will explain whether a simple or surgical extraction is best for your situation and review nitrous oxide and oral sedation options so you know exactly what to expect.
Preparation: Before your appointment, we’ll provide clear pre-op instructions. If oral sedation is chosen, you may need to fast beforehand and arrange for a ride home, while nitrous oxide requires no special preparation.
Extraction Procedure: During treatment, local anesthesia and sedation—nitrous oxide or oral sedation—are used to keep you comfortable. Depending on your needs, Dr. Haider will perform a simple extraction or a surgical procedure with precise techniques designed to minimize discomfort and support a smooth recovery.

We’ll guide you on managing discomfort, minimizing swelling and keeping the area clean, with special tips depending on whether you had nitrous oxide or oral sedation.
Recovery: Healing usually takes just a few days to a week, depending on the type of extraction. Following your aftercare directions—like sticking to soft foods, avoiding tobacco and getting plenty of rest—helps ensure a smooth recovery. If you notice anything unusual, our team is only a phone call away for quick follow-up support.

When is a tooth extraction necessary?

How do dentists determine if a tooth can be saved or must be removed?
Dentists evaluate the tooth with an exam and X-rays to check the extent of decay, damage or infection. If the tooth can be restored with treatments like fillings, crowns or root canals, it will be saved—but if the damage is too severe, extraction may be recommended.
-
What should I expect immediately after a tooth extraction?
Right after a tooth extraction, you can expect some mild bleeding, swelling and soreness in the area. Our team will give you gauze, pain relief guidance and aftercare instructions to support healing and keep you comfortable.
