New to the area and needed a new dentist for our family. Was happy we could all go to the same place. My boys both felt very comfortable and were treated wonderfully by all staff and Drs. The dentist did a good job explaining things and answering questions. Emily was fantastic with my youngest son. Will definitely continue to take my family to comfort dental.

Our child had a horrible time with their first dentist visit at another dentist. The staff and the dentist were amazing with our child. Our child was never afraid of them and our child really enjoyed the visit and asked when we were coming back. Thank you!

We had the best experience today. My 10 year old said this was the “best dentist” office and my 3 year old had his first PLEASANT dentist appointment! My boys loved the TVs on the ceiling and loved getting balloons after their visit. Everything was truly about comfort. Erin and everyone in the office was great and patient!

Gentle, Professional Care for Your Child’s Smile

Simple Extractions

For teeth that are easily visible and accessible, we perform straightforward extractions with local anesthesia to ensure your child is comfortable throughout the procedure.

Surgical Extractions

In more complex cases, like when a tooth is impacted or broken beneath the gum line, we use a surgical extraction approach to safely remove the tooth. This procedure may require a bit more care and planning, but rest assured, your child will be in expert hands.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Our team offers wisdom teeth removal, offering both IV sedation and oral sedation options to keep your child comfortable during the procedure. Removing wisdom teeth at the right time can help prevent future dental issues and ensure a healthier smile.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, there are certain situations where tooth extraction may be necessary to protect your child’s oral health. Here are some common reasons for a tooth extraction:

Severe Decay

When a tooth is damaged beyond repair by decay and cannot be restored with fillings or crowns, extraction may be the best option to prevent further issues, like infection or pain.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth often grow in at awkward angles or become impacted, causing pain or affecting surrounding teeth. Removing them early can prevent future complications, like crowding or infections.

Overcrowding

In some cases, teeth may need to be extracted to create space for orthodontic treatment or to address severe overcrowding that affects your child’s bite and smile.

Infection or Abscess

If an infection reaches deep into the tooth root and cannot be treated with a root canal, extraction is necessary to protect your child’s overall health and prevent the infection from spreading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my child feel pain during the extraction?

No, your child will not feel pain during the procedure. We use local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure your child is comfortable. If sedation is used, it helps keep them relaxed and pain-free throughout the treatment.

When can my child return to school after the extraction?

Most children can return to school within 1-2 days, depending on how they feel after the procedure. We’ll provide guidance on post-treatment care to ensure your child is ready to go back to their regular routine as quickly as possible.

What type of sedation do you offer?

We offer both oral sedation and IV sedation options, depending on your child’s needs. These options help ensure your child is calm and comfortable throughout the procedure, allowing for a stress-free experience.

What if my child has a dental emergency?

We offer same-day emergency appointments for urgent dental needs. If your child has a dental emergency, we’ll do our best to accommodate them quickly and provide the necessary care.

What can my child eat after the extraction?

After the extraction, your child should stick to soft foods (like mashed potatoes, yogurt, and smoothies) for the first 24-48 hours. Gradually, they can return to their normal diet as their comfort allows. We’ll guide you on what foods to avoid to help prevent any issues during recovery.

How much does a tooth extraction cost?

The cost of a tooth extraction can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure. We offer flexible payment options and will work with your insurance provider to make sure the procedure is affordable for your family.

How long is the recovery period?

Most children can return to normal activities within 48-72 hours after the extraction. However, complete healing typically takes about 1-2 weeks. We’ll provide you with clear aftercare instructions to help make the recovery process as smooth as possible.

How long does a tooth extraction take?

For simple extractions, the procedure typically takes 20-40 minutes. If your child requires a surgical extraction (for impacted or broken teeth), it may take 45-60 minutes. We make sure to keep your child as comfortable and relaxed as possible during the entire process.

Do you accept my insurance?

Yes, we accept most major dental PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Humana, Aetna, BCBS, and Cigna. We’ll work with you to understand your coverage and help make the process as smooth as possible.

Can my child drive themselves home after the extraction?

If your child receives sedation, they will need a responsible adult to drive them home after the procedure. The effects of the sedation may last for a while, so they won’t be able to drive themselves.
