What is recovery like after a dental extraction?
Recovery after a dental extraction is usually smooth and only takes a few days. It’s normal to feel some soreness, swelling, or mild bleeding right after the procedure. We’ll give you detailed care instructions to help you heal, such as biting down on gauze, avoiding hard foods, and keeping the area clean. Most patients start feeling back to normal within 48 to 72 hours, and full healing usually takes about one to two weeks. If you follow the post-op guidelines, you can expect a comfortable and healthy recovery.
Select the Level of Relaxation You Need
We want you to be able to get the level of relaxation you need for every procedure, so we offer two forms of safe sedation. We can help you determine which one will be best for you. They are:
- Inhaled Sedation – Also known as laughing gas, this fast-acting form of sedation won’t leave you groggy after your extraction.
- Oral Sedation – You’ll experience a deeper level of relaxation by taking a prescription pill.
