Whether it's a single damaged tooth or a more involved surgical case, Tooth Extraction in Sunrise comes with a clear recovery plan. Smile Center Dentistry walks through aftercare before you're numb, not after.
A socket that isn't managed properly can complicate healing — we plan for that from the start. We'd rather spend time exploring alternatives than pull a tooth that could still be saved.
A second opinion within our own team is standard for borderline cases before extraction is finalized. We'd rather have that internal conversation than rush a decision that can't be undone.
We're upfront about which category your case falls into before treatment, not after complications arise. Knowing which category applies to you shapes what we tell you about recovery time.
We discuss this option at your consult, not as an afterthought once the tooth is already gone. Once bone volume is lost, restoring it later is more involved than preserving it at the time of extraction.
Follow-up checks are scheduled proactively, not left for you to remember to book. We'd rather answer a quick call than have you guess whether something is normal.
Not every extraction is the same procedure — here's what's typically involved depending on your case.
For teeth that are visible and accessible, a simple extraction using an elevator and forceps is usually quick. We confirm the socket is stable before you leave.
We explain exactly why a case needs a surgical approach rather than defaulting to it. Recovery expectations are discussed honestly, since these cases take longer to heal.
This step is optional but often recommended if you're considering replacing the tooth later. We explain the added cost and healing time clearly before you decide.
Antibiotics may be prescribed alongside extraction depending on infection severity. We monitor healing closely on infected extraction sites.
Written aftercare instructions cover swelling, diet, and dry socket prevention specific to your procedure. We're reachable directly if something feels off during recovery.
We discuss replacement options — bridge, denture, or implant — before treatment, not after the teeth are already gone. Staging complex cases in phases is sometimes the better approach, and we'll say so.
We ask about pain level and swelling to determine how quickly you need to be seen.
We explore alternatives to extraction first, and only proceed once it's genuinely the best option.
Local anesthesia keeps the procedure comfortable; simple cases are typically quick, surgical cases take longer.
We're reachable directly during recovery if swelling or pain seems off.
"Simple extraction, done in about 20 minutes, and the aftercare sheet answered every question I would have called about."
"Surgical extraction for an impacted tooth near the gumline — they were upfront it would take longer and it did, but recovery went smoothly."
"Follow-up call a few days later just to check on healing — didn't expect that but it was reassuring."
"They called it correctly as a simple case, no surprise complications, no surprise bill."
"Discussed a bridge versus implant before pulling the tooth, not weeks later when I was scrambling to decide."
The extraction itself is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure — some soreness afterward is normal. We check in after your procedure if we expect a more involved recovery.
It depends on the tooth's position and condition — visible, accessible teeth are usually simple; broken or impacted teeth may need a surgical approach. Knowing this in advance also sets accurate recovery expectations.
We cover dry socket prevention specifically in your written aftercare instructions. Following aftercare instructions closely is the best prevention.
It's optional — we explain the cost and benefit so you can decide based on your future plans. Grafting adds a modest amount to recovery time but can save complications later.
We give you a realistic timeline specific to your case, not a generic estimate. Multiple extractions in one visit may extend overall recovery slightly.
Cost depends on whether it's simple or surgical, and whether grafting is involved — we quote this after your exam. Multiple-tooth cases are quoted per tooth so you can see the full breakdown.
