What Are Teeth Extractions?
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While preserving natural teeth is always our goal, there are times when extraction is necessary to prevent infection, relieve pain, or make room for orthodontic treatment.
- Simple extractions – for visible teeth that can be removed easily
- Surgical extractions – for teeth that are broken, impacted, or below the gum line
At Lake Magdalene Dental, we use modern tools and techniques to ensure the procedure is as efficient and painless as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tooth extraction painful?
With modern techniques and anesthesia, most patients feel minimal discomfort. We also offer sedation for a more relaxed experience.
How long does it take to heal after an extraction?
Most people recover in 3–5 days, but complete healing may take 1–2 weeks depending on the complexity of the extraction.
Can I eat after the procedure?
Yes, but stick to soft foods for the first couple of days. Avoid straws and hot foods to reduce the risk of dry socket.
What is dry socket and how do I prevent it?
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site is dislodged. To prevent it, avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or vigorous rinsing for the first few days.
Will I need to replace the extracted tooth?
In many cases, yes—especially if the extracted tooth is important for chewing or appearance. We’ll discuss options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures during your follow-up visit.
