Not every extraction is the same — a simple extraction with forceps is a different procedure than a surgical case requiring an elevator and sectioning, and our Tooth Extraction plan tells you upfront which category yours falls into.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Tooth Extraction, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
X-rays before the procedure show root shape and position, avoiding surprises mid-extraction.
We'll discuss whether grafting makes sense for your specific situation, not push it as a default add-on.
We walk through exactly what to avoid in the first 24 to 72 hours to protect the healing clot.
Multiple extractions are quoted together with any relevant discount for combining visits.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
Most simple extractions take only a few minutes once numbing has fully taken effect. Recovery is typically brief, with normal activity resuming within a day or two.
Teeth that are broken at the gumline, impacted, or have curved roots often require a surgical approach with sectioning. Recovery timelines are typically longer than for a simple extraction.
Bone graft material placed in the socket immediately after extraction helps preserve ridge volume for future implant placement. Grafting adds minimal time to the procedure itself.
Multiple extractions are quoted together, with the full plan explained before starting. Recovery guidance accounts for multiple healing sites at once.
If dry socket does occur, same-day treatment with a medicated dressing brings quick relief. Avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing in the first days protects the healing clot.
We check healing progress at a follow-up visit, especially after surgical or multiple extractions. Most patients heal without complication when aftercare instructions are followed.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Tooth Extraction at any of our affiliated offices.
Same-day or same-week scheduling is available depending on urgency.
We determine whether your case is simple or surgical before quoting the procedure.
Multiple-tooth cases are quoted together with the full plan explained.
The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia, followed by clear written aftercare instructions.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Tooth Extraction.
“They told me upfront it would be a surgical extraction, not a simple one, and explained exactly why before starting.”
“Socket preservation grafting was explained clearly since I'm planning an implant in a few months. No pressure either way.”
“Had three teeth out in one visit and the aftercare instructions actually made sense, unlike the vague sheet I got years ago elsewhere.”
“Developed dry socket a few days later and they got me in same-day for a dressing that brought relief almost immediately.”
“Simple extraction was quick, painless once numb, and I was back to normal within a day.”
These are the questions Slater patients ask most before booking Tooth Extraction.
X-rays beforehand tell us which category your case falls into before we quote the procedure.
If you're thinking about a future implant, grafting at extraction time helps preserve bone volume for later.
We'll walk through the full aftercare list clearly before you leave the office.
Multiple extractions in one visit generally mean a slightly longer recovery period.
We'll walk through what to expect for a multi-site recovery before scheduling.
Same-day dry socket treatment with a medicated dressing typically brings quick relief.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Tooth Extraction before you even finish describing your situation.
Our Tooth Extraction team serves Slater and the surrounding area, with same-week scheduling for routine cases and faster availability for urgent ones. Socket preservation and other add-on procedures are always discussed, never assumed.
