Tooth Extractions in Chesterfield, MI

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be saved due to severe decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding. Extractions may also be recommended when preparing for orthodontics or dentures. Our team offers both simple extractions for teeth that are visible and surgical extractions for impacted or broken teeth. Every recommendation is based on a personalized evaluation of your oral health needs.

• Simple tooth extraction for teeth that are fully visible above the gumline

• Surgical tooth extraction for complex or partially erupted teeth

What does a tooth extraction cost in Chesterfield MI?

The cost of a tooth removal in Chesterfield MI varies depending on whether it is a simple or surgical procedure, the number of teeth involved, and the type of anesthesia used. Most dental insurance plans cover part of the cost, and our office offers financing options to make care accessible.

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

Initial healing often takes 24 to 72 hours, while full recovery may take up to two weeks. Our dentists provide detailed post-operative instructions to support faster, more comfortable healing.

What should I eat after a tooth extraction?

Patients should stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, smoothies, and mashed potatoes. Avoid hot, crunchy, or spicy foods until your dentist confirms healing has progressed.

When do I need a surgical extraction vs. a simple extraction?

A simple extraction is used when the tooth is visible and can be removed easily. A surgical tooth extraction is required for teeth that are impacted, broken below the gumline, or more complex to remove. Our team evaluates each case and recommends the right approach for your comfort and health.

Can a tooth extraction be done on an emergency basis?

Yes. Chesterfield Family Dental provides emergency tooth extraction services when pain, infection, or trauma requires urgent attention. Same-day appointments are often available to help you find relief quickly.

What is a dry socket and how can it be prevented?

A dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site is dislodged, causing pain and delayed healing. To prevent it, avoid using straws, smoking, or rinsing too vigorously during the first few days after your procedure.

When can I resume normal activities, work, or exercise after extraction?

Light activities can usually be resumed after 24–48 hours, while strenuous exercise should be delayed for 3–5 days depending on your healing progress.

Will my insurance cover extractions in Chesterfield, MI?

Most dental insurance plans cover teeth removal procedures, though coverage may vary. Our team will help verify your benefits and discuss payment options before treatment.

What should I bring to my extraction appointment?

Please bring a photo ID, insurance card, and a list of current medications. If sedation is planned, arrange for a driver to accompany you.
