Question 1

How much is a tooth extraction in Fremont, OH?

Accepted Answer

On average, patients pay $179 per tooth¹ at Aspen Dental. Costs vary by: Type of extraction, Condition of your tooth, number of teeth being extracted, your overall treatment plan, your office location, or if sedation is needed. At Aspen Dental, we accept most insurance plans but do not accept Medicaid. Before your treatment, we’ll review your benefits with you, explain your coverage and discuss your options. To help your care fit your budget, we offer 3rd-party financing and the Aspen Dental Savings Plan² (if you’re paying without insurance). ²The Aspen Dental Savings Plan is NOT insurance. Please see plan terms and conditions for details.

Question 2

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

When can I stop using gauze after tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Do I need to fast before my tooth extraction appointment?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What foods should I eat after a tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How can I speed up healing after a tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer
