What should I expect during and after an extraction?

At Harmony Dentistry, we know the idea of having a tooth removed can feel intimidating—but we’re here to make it as smooth, gentle, and stress-free as possible. During your appointment, we’ll thoroughly numb the area so you won’t feel any pain, just light pressure. For patients who feel nervous or are undergoing a more complex extraction (such as wisdom teeth removal), we also offer sedation options to help you relax.

The extraction itself is usually quick, and we take great care to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissue. Once the tooth is removed, we’ll place gauze over the site and review clear, step-by-step instructions for post-op care. This includes tips for managing discomfort, avoiding dry socket, and keeping the area clean as it heals.

You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or slight bleeding for the first day or two, but most patients recover fully within a few days. We’re always available if you have questions or need support during recovery.
