What to Expect at Your Extraction Appointment
We know the word “extraction” can sound intimidating — but the procedure itself is far more straightforward than most patients expect. Dr. Demetriou will numb the area completely before starting, so you should feel pressure but not pain during the removal. Most simple extractions are over in a matter of minutes.
Afterward, we’ll send you home with clear, easy-to-follow instructions for caring for the site while it heals. We’re also just a phone call away if you have any questions or concerns during recovery.

Tooth Extraction FAQs
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia before the procedure begins. Most patients feel pressure during the extraction but not pain. Any soreness afterward is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and resolves within a few days.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover comfortably within a few days. Full healing of the gum tissue typically takes one to two weeks. We’ll give you specific aftercare instructions tailored to your situation.
Do I need to replace the extracted tooth?
For most teeth, yes — leaving a gap can cause neighboring teeth to shift and affect your bite over time. Dr. Demetriou can discuss replacement options like dental implants or bridges at your appointment so you have a clear plan moving forward.
Can I eat normally after an extraction?
We’ll recommend soft foods for the first day or two while the site heals. Most patients are back to their normal diet within a few days.
