More FAQs
How do I know if a tooth needs to be extracted?
We’ll always explore every option before recommending an extraction. If a tooth is badly damaged, infected, or affecting the health of surrounding teeth, removing it might be the best path forward. Dr. Friberg will explain everything clearly so you feel confident in your care.
What are the benefits of having a tooth extracted?
When a tooth is too damaged to save, removing it can relieve pain, prevent infection from spreading, and protect the health of your surrounding teeth and gums. Extractions can also create space for future treatment, like implants or orthodontics, and give you a fresh start toward a healthier, more comfortable smile.
Can MEADOW be with me during my tooth extraction?
Yes! MEADOW, our Rehabilitative Facility Dog, is here to support you during your visit, including extractions. Many patients find her presence calming during stressful procedures. Whether you need deep pressure therapy or just a comforting presence nearby, MEADOW is trained to help you feel safe and supported.
Will my insurance cover the cost of a tooth extraction?
Coverage varies by plan, but many insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of tooth extractions in Wilmington. We can help you understand your benefits.
How long does the recovery from a tooth extraction take?
The initial healing period typically takes about one to two weeks. However, it’s important to follow our aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and avoid complications.
Should I consider a tooth replacement after an extraction?
We recommend considering tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to maintain your oral health and prevent issues like bone loss and tooth shifting.
