Tooth Extraction in in Pompano Beach, FL
When Do You Need a Tooth Extraction?
Most extractions come down to one of four reasons: a tooth too decayed or fractured to restore, a wisdom tooth that’s impacted or crowding your other teeth, an infection that hasn’t responded to a root canal, or making room for orthodontic treatment. We only recommend extraction when saving the tooth genuinely isn’t the better option.
What to Expect During Your Extraction
Simple extractions are done under local anesthesia and typically take 20–40 minutes. You’ll feel pressure, not pain, during the procedure. Afterward, expect some swelling and soreness for 2–3 days, we’ll send you home with specific aftercare instructions and, if needed, a prescription to manage discomfort. Most patients are back to normal eating within a week.
Extraction Cost & Insurance
Simple extractions are typically covered in part by PPO dental insurance; we verify your specific benefits before treatment. If a tooth requires a more complex surgical extraction (common with wisdom teeth), we’ll walk you through the additional cost before proceeding , never after.
