Simple Tooth Extractions vs. Surgical Extractions — What’s the Difference?
There are two main types of tooth removal — simple extractions and surgical extractions.
A simple extraction involves removal of a visible tooth above the gum line using local anesthesia. In this case, the tooth can generally be “pulled” from the gums without further complication. In these cases, a general dentist may perform the extraction if complications are unexpected.
A surgical tooth extraction is generally used for teeth broken at the gum line, impacted, or requiring incision into the gum or bone. In some cases, these procedures may require general anesthesia, and often require cutting into the gums. In this case, an oral surgeon is often required.
Also note, wisdom teeth, children’s teeth, and teeth with unusual roots may also require surgical expertise.

What To Expect During Your Tooth Extraction Procedure
The procedure for simple tooth pulling or surgical tooth extractions in Carson City is as follows:
First, the dentist will evaluate your condition using a number of methods, including digital X-rays to guide treatment.
Once an effective assessment is made, your dentist will determine if they are able to extract the tooth themselves or if an oral surgeon must be consulted.
Once this determination is made, the procedure can begin. The doctor or surgeon will use local or general anesthesia for comfort.
Once you are comfortable, the tooth will be loosened and removed. In some surgical cases, the tooth will be broken into smaller pieces for removal.
After removal, your dentist will work on cleaning and suturing the wound, if necessary.
You’ll then receive immediate instructions for home care from your doctor, and a follow-up appointment may be scheduled.
Immediate Aftercare — How To Heal Quickly and Prevent Complications
To take care of yourself after a newly extracted tooth, you should:
Prevent dry sockets — avoid drinking via straw, spitting, vigorous rinsing, or smoking.
Use an ice pack for swelling.
Take medications as prescribed.
Eat soft foods — scrambled eggs, yogurt, soup.
Gently rinse your mouth, only as directed.
No strenuous activity in the first 24 to 48 hours.
You should also watch for signs of infection, which can include continued bleeding, severe pain, or fever. If you’re concerned, give our office a call.
Complications and Risks With Tooth Removal
While tooth removal is often necessary, and almost always the last option, there are some complications that may happen:
Dry socket (loss of blood clot) causes severe pain.
Nerve damage, especially in wisdom tooth or lower teeth cases.
Infection, facial swelling, or bone loss are rare, but possible.
A full aftercare and follow-up routine from your doctor minimizes these risks. You should follow it exactly.

Replacing Missing Teeth After Extraction
In the case of an extraction, dental implants, bridges, and other techniques can be used to replace the missing teeth, making your smile look like new. These appliances all restore function and appearance, prevent shifting of adjacent teeth, and bone loss.
All are available at Absolute Dental, following healing, and can be discussed with your dentist at your initial appointment or at a later date.
Why Choose Absolute Dental for Extractions and Oral Surgery?
Our experienced dentists and oral surgeons in Carson City offer same-day and emergency appointments for tooth removal, we use the latest technology for safety and comfort, and have a family- and kid-friendly atmosphere.

While tooth extraction can be uncomfortable, we always strive to use the latest and most high-tech methods to ensure you the smoothest journey possible. During the procedure, you will be under local or general anesthesia and shouldn’t feel much at all.
In many cases, yes. If medically necessary, insurance will generally cover tooth extraction, but you should check with your insurance carrier to be sure.
This is dependent on the kind of tooth extraction you had, the underlying problem, and how many teeth were removed. Most people heal within about a week to 10 days, although some can take longer.
Your doctor can tell you more, but you should focus on eating soft foods for the first few weeks after a tooth extraction. Try foods like scrambled eggs, yogurt, and smoothies.
Dry sockets happen when the blood clot helping the gum socket heal gets dislodged. Don’t drink from a straw, avoid smoking, and always follow all of your dentist’s instructions.
