Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why might I need a tooth extraction?
We recommend extractions when a tooth is too damaged to repair, impacted, or causing crowding. Our goal is to protect your oral health and create space for proper dental function.

2. Does a tooth extraction hurt?
We use gentle techniques and effective anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Our team focuses on making your experience as painless, smooth, and stress-free as possible from start to finish.

3. How long does it take to recover from an extraction?
We typically see initial healing within a few days, with complete recovery in one to two weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth, complication-free healing for your comfort.

4. What can I eat after a tooth extraction?
We recommend soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soup for the first days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or hot foods to protect the healing site and promote faster recovery.

5. How do I care for my mouth after an extraction?
We advise gentle rinsing, avoiding straws, and following our care instructions. Keeping the area clean and protected helps prevent infection and ensures optimal healing for your gums and bone.

6. Will I need tooth replacement after an extraction?
We often recommend replacing missing teeth with implants, bridges, or dentures. Our goal is to restore your smile’s function, appearance, and health after removing a damaged or problematic tooth.

This office is absolutely amazing!! The front desk staff is extremely professional and friendly. The environment is clean and upbeat. The nurse made me feel so comfortable and welcome and they work fast and accurate! There was not gimmicks or pressure for payment, or sells pitch for other services. I believe I found my new dental home!!

Got the Botox for my TMD issue and it has helped tremendously. Would do it again 100 times over. So happy I did not have to go to a cosmetic place where they would push other cosmetic services. Dr Makam is awesome. Always great customer service and nice.
