The Tooth Extraction Process at Toothbar
Our goal is to make every extraction as stress-free and painless as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your procedure:
-
- Consultation and Evaluation
We’ll begin with a thorough evaluation of your dental health, including X-rays or digital imaging to assess the position and condition of the tooth. This helps us determine the best approach for your extraction.
-
- Preparation and Anesthesia
Before the procedure, we’ll numb the area using local anesthesia to ensure you don’t feel any pain during the extraction. For more complex procedures or if you feel anxious, sedation options are available to help you relax.
-
- Extraction Procedure
Depending on the location and condition of the tooth, we may perform a simple extraction or a surgical extraction.
-
- Simple Extraction: If the tooth is visible and easily accessible, we’ll carefully remove it with minimal disruption.
-
- Surgical Extraction: For impacted teeth or those broken below the gumline, we’ll make a small incision in the gum to access and remove the tooth.
-
- Post-Extraction Care
Once the tooth is removed, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. This may include prescription pain relief, recommendations for soft foods, and advice on how to avoid dry socket.
What Happens After a Tooth Extraction?
After an extraction, the healing process typically takes a few days. During this time, it’s important to follow our care instructions to prevent complications.
-
- Avoid smoking and drinking through a straw, as suction can dislodge the blood clot and lead to dry socket.
-
- Use cold compresses to minimize swelling and discomfort.
-
- Stick to soft foods like soups and smoothies during the initial healing period.
In cases where a tooth is removed due to decay or trauma, we’ll discuss replacement options such as dental implants or bridges. If you’re having a wisdom tooth removed, no replacement will be necessary.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often cause problems if they don’t have enough space to emerge properly. They can become impacted, leading to gum irritation, pain, and infection. In some cases, they can even cause misalignment of your other teeth. At Toothbar, we specialize in safe, efficient wisdom teeth removal to prevent these complications.
