Extractions and Minor Oral Surgery

Having a tooth pulled may not be entertaining, but it’s often necessary–whether to make room for a permanent tooth, or eliminate a potentially serious health condition produced by an infected tooth that is often decayed. Dr. Ilies and her staff provide expert tooth extraction and other minor oral surgery services while ensuring that you get the best care before, during, and after a tooth extraction procedure.

It is normal to feel some pain after the numbness wears off, particularly in the first 24 to 48 hours after your surgery. Some soreness or discomfort at the site of the surgery may last for three to five days. The amount of discomfort depends on the kind of surgery you have, how healthy you are in general and how active you are.
