When it comes to a tooth extraction, or any other type of oral surgery, each case is different. The cost will ultimately depend on which tooth needs removing as well as the overall condition of your mouth. We encourage you to come in for an exam and X-rays, so we can give you an accurate idea of the cost involved.
For most standard tooth removals, you can expect the extraction site to heal in about seven to 10 days. You can play a big role in the actual healing time, however. Following your aftercare instructions and limiting your physical exertion for a few days will help you heal faster and more comfortably.
Once you’re back home and the bleeding has stopped, you can remove the gauze from the extraction site and begin the healing process over the next few days. We will send you home with thorough post-op instructions that give detailed steps about oral hygiene and diet during recovery. You may also receive a prescription for pain medication to reduce any discomfort in the first couple of days.
