Will Having a Tooth Pulled Hurt?

This is one of the questions we hear most often.

Before your extraction, we’ll thoroughly numb the area so you stay as comfortable as possible. During the procedure, you may feel pressure, but you shouldn’t feel sharp pain.

If you’re anxious, let us know. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and our team is committed to making your visit as comfortable as possible with blankets, noise-canceling headphones with streaming services, and by explaining each step before we begin.

Most patients tell us the procedure was easier than they expected.
