What to expect during a tooth extraction
- First, we conduct a comprehensive examination, including x-rays, to assess the tooth and surrounding tissues.
- Discussing all available treatment options ensures that tooth extraction is the most appropriate course of action.
- You'll receive local anesthesia to numb the area, making the process as comfortable as possible.
- We may place a temporary solution to protect the extraction site while it heals.
- In about 1-2 weeks, you're welcome to return for a follow-up appointment to ensure proper healing and discuss any further treatments or tooth replacement options.
Your comfort and health are our top priorities. Contact us today to learn more about our approach to tooth extractions.
We help our patients save their teeth
At Greater Long Island Dental, tooth extraction is never our first course of treatment. We work with our patients to help them save their natural teeth whenever possible. If you’re suffering from teeth that are misaligned, damaged, or decayed, alternative treatments may include:
- Fillings
- Root canals
- Veneers
- Invisalign
- Gum disease treatments
However, in some cases, tooth extraction and restoration is the best option to maintain the health, function, and appearance of your smile. At our Massapequa office, we can help you decide on the best course of treatment. Call us at (516) 798-4223 to schedule a consultation and learn more about our treatment options.

Tooth Extraction FAQs
How long does the recovery from a tooth extraction take?
The initial healing period typically takes about one to two weeks. However, it's crucial to follow our aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and avoid complications.
How should I care for my mouth after an extraction?
After a tooth extraction, keep the area clean and avoid disturbing the clot that forms in the socket. We'll provide you with specific aftercare instructions, including how to gently clean the area and manage pain.
What happens if I delay an extraction?
Delaying a necessary tooth extraction can lead to further oral health complications, including infection, pain, and the potential spread of decay to other teeth.
Should I consider a tooth replacement after an extraction?
We recommend considering tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to maintain your oral health and prevent issues like bone loss and tooth shifting.
