Dr. Choi was Amazing with my Daughter. Great Staff as well!! Brittney and a Couple others were so Kind and Comforting! Dr Choi did a couple tooth extractions and a week later fixed some dry socket. He was Patient and Effective. Very Pleased and will continue to only go to Thomaston for the future!
Terrific! Everyone was kind, patient and very helpful.
My dentist before moving to Maine was amazing, but I can hardly make the six hour drive back for a cleaning at a practice my insurance doesn't cover, so I knew I had to switch. I've had some pretty significant oral surgery in the past, and compounded with a bunch of other medical issues and medication dry mouth, going to the dentist has often been a trial. Not only was I booked same day (unlike weeks, at best, with other dentists in the area), they made sure I had plenty of time to answer the new patient questionnaire before I was brought back. Once back, I had xrays done on one of the scanners that spins around you, which was very neat, followed by normal bitewings. The whole time, I was chatted with so I couldn't get caught up in my head about being at *the dentist*. Everything they did was explained to me and was shown on their monitor or on the monitor set up beside the exam chair. Dr. Choi was quick but very thorough. He went through my medical records before we got started to make sure everything was in order, and he explained as he was doing the exam how different conditions or medications I'm on might impact my oral health. The check-out process was not only smooth, but all my questions and concerns about if everything would actually be covered were answered with detailed knowledge about my dental insurance. I was a little wary given the mixed reviews about Aspen Dental, but I have no regrets about my choice!

Types of tooth extraction services in Thomaston, ME

Our providers handle a wide range of extraction needs. Some of the most common services include:
1
Simple extractions
For a visible tooth that can be removed easily, a simple extraction is typically recommended. This type of treatment is used if your tooth has a large cavity or is too damaged for a filling or crown.
2
Surgical extractions
When a tooth is broken off at your gum line, impacted or difficult to access, a small incision is made to remove it in sections.
3
Wisdom teeth removal
Wisdom teeth are often removed because they can grow sideways or become stuck under your gum line. Removing them prevents crowding, swelling and recurring infections.
4
Emergency extractions
Sometimes pain or infection cannot wait. In this case, our providers reserve time for same-day emergency visits to remove any teeth that are causing you severe discomfort.

With local anesthesia, your Aspen Dental provider will keep you as comfortable possible. During your procedure, you may feel pressure as your tooth is removed. After your procedure, mild sensitivity is common and should fade after a short period of time. Your provider will provide you detailed after-care instructions and, if needed, medication to manage any discomfort.

Most patients feel much better within a few days. Surgical extractions, especially for wisdom teeth, may require a week or more to fully recovery. Healing is different for everyone and depends on things like your overall health, the complexity of your extraction and how well you follow after-care instructions.

You can usually remove gauze once bleeding has stopped, which may take a few hours after your procedure. Your provider will give you specific instructions to help you heal safely. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure you fully recover.

If your procedure involves sedation, fasting for several hours ahead of your visit may be required. Your provider will let you know exactly how to prepare. For simple extractions with local anesthesia only, fasting is usually not necessary. If you have questions, reach out to your local Aspen Dental office for further details.

Soft foods are recommended for the first 24 to 48 hours. Options include yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, soft pastas and smoothies. As healing progresses, you can reintroduce solid foods when it feels right for you. Make sure to avoid crunchy, sticky or very hot foods until cleared by your provider.

Follow all after-care instructions given to you by your provider. Typically, you’ll be guided to: Avoid smoking or vaping, keep your head elevated, use ice to reduce swelling. Once cleared by your provider, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing gently around the area of your extraction.
