Tooth pain can be unbearable and sometimes it seems like the only way to escape a toothache is to pull the tooth. We completely sympathize and want to provide you with quick relief and there may be options available to do so which also saves your tooth.
Let us know if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
There are many reasons a tooth may require removal. They include (but are not limited to) the extraction of baby teeth that have trouble exfoliating on their own, the extraction of teeth for orthodontic treatment, and the extraction of teeth due to pain or infection.
A dental extraction removal usually requires one office visit and is performed by a dentist. Here is how we go about extracting the tooth:
You may think extraction is the only way to find relief or feel like it is inevitable but there may be other ways to quickly provide relief while saving the tooth. The best-case scenario is to keep you healthy, relieve any pain and preserve your tooth. Before any teeth are removed we will examine you and speak to you about your options.
Based on the preference of the dentist and the patient, a local anesthetic will be used to numb the areas where the tooth will be extracted. Sedation may also be available if it’s required. We use a minimally invasive technique to remove teeth as gently as possible. We want you to feel comfortable and have a fast recovery.
You will be given aftercare instructions including how to care for your mouth as it heals, what to expect and what to do if you experience complications. We would be happy to schedule a follow-up appointment to address any additional concerns you may have.
The cost of dental extractions can vary widely. With a typical insurance plan, a dental extraction commonly costs about $100 — $200+ out of pocket. We would be happy to provide you with a quote in advance to submit to your insurance provider to find out what your out of pocket costs would be. Without insurance, you can expect to pay approximately $200 to $600+ per tooth. The cost of a dental extraction will vary depending on a number of factors.
No dental practice can give you an accurate quote over the phone because your treatment plan must be tailored to your specific needs and can only be determined after an oral exam. There are two broad categories that dental extractions fall under which may give you a better idea of what your extraction may cost and why:
A simple extraction is performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth. These can be performed by a general dentist, using local anesthesia. A simple extraction of an accessible tooth without complication would merit a lower cost estimate.
A surgical extraction is more complex and involves the removal of a tooth that cannot easily be seen or reached, either because it has not fully erupted or it has broken off at the gum line. A surgical extraction, requiring a great amount of consideration, delicate care and expertise will come at a greater cost.
I had a great experience at Smile Breeze Dentistry. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the office was clean and well-maintained. Dr. Kelkar was knowledgeable and experienced, and she took the time to explain my treatment options. I was satisfied with the treatment I received, and the cost was reasonable. I would definitely recommend Smile Breeze Dentistry to others.
I got my veneers done at this office after my orthodontist referred me. Everyone at the office is very friendly and Dr. Kelkar is knowledgeable, kind and patient. I got good treatment and result and would recommend anyone to visit this office!
Entire dental and office staff are excellent! Dr Kelkar has helped with my problematic gums with compassion and professionalism and my teeth and gums are now in much better condition. Thanks to Smile Breeze Dentistry!
Dr. Kelkar is an amazing doctor who takes it upon herself to ensure best experience for your entire duration of the treatment from the time you walk into her office and follows through your recovery. It is great to have such a wonderful care and support.
Loved this place. Dr Kelkar explained the issues well and gave different options with their respective consequences. She did not pressure me to choose the most expensive option and I appreciated that. The music was soothing. Overall I totally recommend this place. Thank you Dr. Kelkar
Many people believe wisdom teeth removal is a rite of passage. In reality, wisdom teeth only need to be removed if they become impacted or otherwise interfere with your jaw and teeth.
Dentistry is more compassionate than ever before and your comfort is important to us. We use tools and techniques that effectively remove as much discomfort as possible, help us work quickly, precisely and with as little trauma as possible to promote fast healing. We will provide you with aftercare instructions to keep you comfortable and promote fast healing.
About an hour after your procedure, you may remove the gauze sponges that have been placed in your mouth and have something to eat. Be sure to eat foods that are soft for the first 24 hours. Make sure to avoid hot foods and drinking from straws for several hours.
We will provide you with aftercare instructions specific to your needs at your appointment. Here are some general things you can do after a tooth extraction to minimize the risk of complications and encourage a speedy recovery:
Ideally, you should schedule three or four days of rest or light duty after your wisdom teeth come out. Resting will minimize your risk of complications and help you heal. Full recovery takes around 2 weeks but you should feel minimal discomfort during this time.
