What are Tooth Extractions?
Why Would You Need Tooth Extractions?






Tooth extractions may be necessary due to severe decay, infection, gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, or orthodontic reasons. In Austin & Round Rock, our dental professionals evaluate your specific case to determine if removal is the best option for your long-term oral health.
At our Austin & Round Rock dental office, we prioritize patient comfort. With local anesthesia and modern techniques, most patients feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. We also offer sedation options for those with dental anxiety.
Recovery typically takes about 7–10 days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications like dry socket. Avoiding smoking, straws, and vigorous rinsing is key in the first few days.
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and soup for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that could irritate the extraction site.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, depending on the complexity of the extraction. We may recommend rest for the first 24 hours to ensure a smooth recovery.
