Types of Dental Extractions at Virginia Oral Surgeon Specialists

There are two main types of dental extractions: simple and surgical.

Simple Dental Extractions

A simple dental extraction is also known as a “regular” dental extraction. This type of dental extraction is performed on teeth that are visible and easily accessible. Local anesthesia will be used to numb the area and minimize any discomfort. The dental extraction will be performed using dental forceps, and you may feel some pressure during the procedure.

Surgical Dental Extractions

A surgical dental extraction is a more complex procedure performed on teeth that are not easily visible or accessible. This type of dental extraction is usually performed on wisdom teeth. However, it can also be used for other teeth that are impacted, damaged,  have long roots  or are surrounded by dense bone.

After Extraction of Wisdom Teeth

It’s important to follow our instructions after your wisdom teeth have been extracted. We will provide you with everything you need to know before leaving our dental office. You can expect swelling and discomfort after your procedure. However, this is normal and will resolve on its own. We will provide pain medication to help manage discomfort.

You will want to refrain from the following:

  • Smoking
  • Drinking through a straw
  • Eating hard or crunchy foods
  • Vigorous mouth rinsing or tampering with the surgical site

You will want to eat soft foods and gently rinse the area with warm salt water to help with the swelling. You can also use ice packs to help minimize the swelling and ease pain from the procedure.

We will see you for a follow-up appointment to ensure that your dental extraction site is healing properly. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our dental office. Our team is here to help you through every step of the dental extraction process.

What is the cost of tooth extraction?

The tooth extraction cost varies depending on the dental extraction you need. Simple dental extractions are typically less expensive than surgical, dental extractions. We accept dental insurance, and we will work with you to maximize your benefits. The extractions range from $200 to $800 per tooth.
