Teeth Extractions Don’t Have to Be Scary
No one wakes up hoping to get a tooth pulled—but sometimes it’s the healthiest choice. At Mahogany Oral Surgery, we make the experience as comfortable and straightforward as possible, with a focus on your peace of mind and a smooth recovery.
Why Would I Need a Tooth Removed?
There are several reasons your dentist or orthodontist may refer you to us:
- The tooth is badly decayed, broken, or infected
- You need to make room for braces or other treatments
- A baby tooth didn’t fall out in time
- Gum disease has damaged the supporting bone
- You have extra teeth or one that’s growing in the wrong spot
Whatever the reason, our team is here to guide you with care.
What About Pain?
You’re not alone if you’re nervous. One of the most common questions we hear is, “Will it hurt?” The good news: you won’t feel pain during the procedure. We use modern anesthesia techniques to keep you totally numb—and we offer sedation options if you’re anxious.
After the extraction, some soreness is expected, but we’ll give you instructions and medication to make recovery as easy as possible.
What’s Recovery Like?
For most people, it’s a few quiet days with soft foods and rest. You might have mild swelling or discomfort, but it’s very manageable. We’ll send you home with detailed post-op instructions, and our team is just a phone call away if you have questions.
You’re Not Alone in Feeling Nervous
A lot of our patients are anxious before their extractions—and that’s okay. We’re used to helping people who are nervous about dental procedures. We’ll explain everything, check in with you throughout, and make sure you feel safe and supported.
