Tooth Extractions
While it’s always our goal to care for and maintain your natural teeth, there are cases when removing a tooth is in your best interest. We work to make tooth extractions as easy as possible so you can focus on a quick recovery.
The Process of Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is typically a very fast process—we will use anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable. The most critical part of the process is recovery. We need to make sure we control the bleeding and encourage a proper healing process immediately following the tooth extraction. This involves having you bite down on a gauze pad for 30 to 45 minutes to form a blood clot. You must be extremely careful not to disturb the blood clot for the next 24 hours. To manage swelling, we recommend an ice pack on the outer cheek, and once swelling has gone down, a warm compress to the same area for comfort. Gentle rinses with warm saltwater also help keep the extraction area clean.

What makes one extraction cost more than another?
| Factor | Why it changes the cost |
|---|---|
| How the tooth sits | A tooth that has fully grown in is a different job from an impacted tooth still stuck in the gum or bone. |
| Exam and X-rays | An exam, and usually X-rays, come first so the dentist can see the tooth and its roots. |
| Sedation | Local anesthetic numbs the area. Sedation is available if you'd rather be more relaxed, and it can add to the cost. |
| Replacing the tooth | If you want the gap filled, a dental implant, a bridge or a denture is a separate cost from the extraction. |

How can I keep the cost of an extraction down?
- Use your insurance: we work with most PPO plans and file and track the claim for you. Out-of-network benefits usually apply too.
- No insurance: the Complete Care Program is our affordable in-house dental coverage.
- Spread the payments: CareCredit and Proceed Finance. See all payment options.
- Ask for the cost first: get the price of the extraction, and of anything that replaces the tooth, before you agree to treatment.
Should I pull the tooth or try to save it?
It depends on the tooth. When a tooth has an abscess, a root canal may be recommended to try to save it, while a severe infection may mean the tooth has to come out (MedlinePlus). Ask what each route would cost, including any replacement after an extraction, before you decide.
