Call (858) 274-8200or request a call backCan I get a tooth pulled the same day?
Often, yes. We offer same-day visits whenever possible for patients in pain. Call us and we’ll find the soonest opening at our Clairemont or Bankers Hill office.
Is tooth extraction painful?
We numb the area thoroughly before we begin, so most patients feel pressure but little to no pain. Sedation options are available if you feel anxious.
How much does a tooth extraction cost?
It depends on the tooth and whether it’s a simple or surgical extraction. New patients can start with our $99 emergency exam with X-rays, and we’ll give you a clear price before any treatment. We accept all PPO insurance and financing is available.
How long does an extraction take?
A simple extraction typically takes 20 to 40 minutes. Wisdom teeth and more complex cases may take longer depending on your situation.
How long is recovery?
Most patients are back to normal activities within a few days. We’ll give you clear aftercare instructions to help you heal comfortably.
Can I drive after an extraction?
With local numbing only, usually yes. If you choose sedation, plan to have someone drive you home — we’ll let you know when you book.
Can the tooth be saved instead?
Sometimes. After your exam and X-rays, we’ll honestly tell you whether a root canal or crown could save the tooth, and we’ll only recommend an extraction when it’s the healthiest choice.
