    Tooth Extraction

    What Are the Different Types of Tooth Extraction?

    Our Houston, TX, clinic offers two types of dental extractions:

    Simple Extractions: A simple extraction involves the removal of a tooth that is easily accessible in the oral cavity. We use a manual instrument called an elevator to gently loosen the tooth within its socket. Once it is movable enough, we pull it out with utmost care, ensuring that you do not feel excess pressure during this step. A simple extraction wound heals within 10 to 14 days with proper care.

    Surgical Extractions: A surgical extraction is required for those teeth that are impacted, not fully erupted, or are extensively damaged. In this procedure, we place an incision over the gum line to expose the tooth and surrounding bone. We may section the tooth or remove some part of the bone to extract it more easily. After the extraction, we close the incision site with sutures. The healing period after a surgical extraction may take 3 to 4 weeks.

During your initial consultation, we will examine the damaged tooth and take dental x-rays to assess its condition in detail.

    • Diabetes
    • Hypertension
    • Heart disease

    My experience was extremely pleasant. From the front office staff & assistants to dentist himself. Everyone was very professional & understanding. I Came in for an emergency during my lunch break, I was quoted & seen the same day. Very good dentist. I will definitely be coming back with the rest of my family

    Elida Aponte

    Let me just say that I’m not one who goes to the dentist often. But when I do this is the place that I go to. The staff are very welcoming for new and existing patients. When I went I was a little nervous at first but when I got there the staff talked with me asked how my day was, told me what they planned to do in terms I understood, that sort of thing. And when I was in the chair I was in and out in no time at all and didn’t feel any pain.

    Can I Eat After Getting My Tooth Removed?

    After the extraction procedure, you may face slight difficulty in biting and chewing food for the first few days. Our dentists provide a complete set of instructions after dental extractions in Houston, TX, to help you attain a smooth recovery. We recommend starting with a soft, cool diet initially until the extraction site heals. Soft foods include yogurt, oatmeal, bananas, avocados, scrambled eggs, etc. Avoid drinking with a straw as it may dislodge the blood clot at the extraction site. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water also helps to speed up the recovery process.
