Symptoms to Watch Out For
We know how overwhelming tooth pain can be, and we want to help you find relief as quickly as possible. Before assuming extraction is the only answer, let us assess your situation together. There may be treatment options available that address your discomfort and save your tooth at the same time. Contact us if you are noticing any of the following:
- Severe or worsening tooth pain
- Discomfort that intensifies with pressure or chewing
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Swelling or inflammation of the gums
- Signs of gum disease such as discolouration, bleeding, or an unpleasant odour
Understanding Your Treatment Plan
There are many circumstances that may lead to a tooth extraction, from baby teeth that are slow to fall out on their own, to teeth requiring removal for orthodontic purposes, to those affected by pain or infection. Whatever the reason, most extractions are a routine procedure completed comfortably in a single visit. Here is how our experienced team guides you through the process:
Exploring Your Options First
If you are in pain, extraction may feel like the only answer, but that is not always the case. In many situations, there are effective treatment options available that can provide quick relief while preserving your natural tooth. Our priority is always to keep you healthy, eliminate discomfort, and save your tooth wherever possible. Before any extraction is considered, we will conduct a thorough examination and walk you through all of your available options together.
The Removal Process
To ensure a comfortable experience, the area around the tooth is numbed using a local anesthetic prior to the extraction. Sedation may also be offered depending on your needs and preferences. The tooth is then removed using a minimally invasive approach designed to reduce discomfort and support a quicker healing process.
Feeling Better
After your procedure, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing. This includes guidance on how to care for your mouth, what to expect during recovery, and what to do if any complications arise. If needed, we are also happy to schedule a follow-up appointment to address any concerns.
Cost of a dental extraction in Burlington
The cost of dental extractions can vary widely. With a typical insurance plan, a dental extraction commonly costs about $100 — $200+ out of pocket. We would be happy to provide you with a quote in advance to submit to your insurance provider to find out what your out of pocket costs would be. Without insurance, you can expect to pay approximately $200 to $600+ per tooth. The cost of a dental extraction will vary depending on a number of factors.
No dental practice can give you an accurate quote over the phone because your treatment plan must be tailored to your specific needs and can only be determined after an oral exam. There are two broad categories that dental extractions fall under which may give you a better idea of what your extraction may cost and why:
Simple Tooth Extraction
A simple extraction is performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth. These can be performed by a general dentist, using local anesthesia. A simple extraction of an accessible tooth without complication would merit a lower cost estimate.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
A surgical extraction is more complex and involves the removal of a tooth that cannot easily be seen or reached, either because it has not fully erupted or it has broken off at the gum line. A surgical extraction, requiring a great amount of consideration, delicate care and expertise will come at a greater cost.
