Our Complete Tooth Extraction Process

- Diagnostic Imaging: We take digital scans and X-rays to assess the condition and best treatment plan to remove the affected tooth while minimizing discomfort.
- Anesthesia or Sedation: Before the procedure, we administer your chosen anesthesia or sedation method to eliminate pain. Our team will also guide you in selecting the most suitable sedation option for your needs.

FAQs
Will tooth extraction be painful?
Tooth extraction is performed under local anesthesia and is typically pain-free. For complex extractions, sedation options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or IV sedation may be used. Some pressure may be felt, but discomfort is minimal. Mild to moderate soreness is common as the anesthesia wears off, but pain relievers and proper aftercare is provided.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Recovery typically takes 7–10 days based on the complexity of the extraction. Initial swelling and tenderness usually subside within 48–72 hours, while complete gum healing may take several weeks. Avoid straws and rinsing gently to speed up the healing process.
Are there any risks or complications associated with tooth extractions?
Tooth extractions are generally safe, but potential complications include infection, prolonged bleeding, dry socket (when the protective blood clot dislodges), nerve irritation, or sinus exposure for upper molars. The risk of complications is higher in smokers, diabetics, and those with certain medical conditions.
Can I eat normally after a tooth extraction?
For the first 24 hours, we recommend sticking to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soup. Chewing on the opposite side of your mouth and avoiding straws (to prevent dry socket) is recommended. You can return to your normal diet after 1-2 weeks.
How much does a tooth extraction cost in Laguna Niguel?
The cost of a tooth extraction is between $100 to $2,000 depending on the complexity of the extraction, the location of the tooth, and any additional treatments required. It is best to consult with our clinic to obtain an accurate estimate of the cost.
What can I do to minimize swelling after a tooth extraction?
Applying an ice pack to the affected area in 15–20 minute intervals during the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling. Keep your head elevated while resting, avoid strenuous activity, and follow prescribed medications. Swelling will typically peak within 48 hours and gradually subsides afterward.
