When a tooth can’t be saved, extraction protects your overall oral health. At Dental Care Group in Pembroke Pines, we perform simple and surgical extractions with modern anesthesia and gentle techniques at 12634 Pines Blvd. Most patients tell us the procedure was easier than expected.

Reasons for extraction include severe decay, advanced gum disease, cracked teeth, crowding, and infections that can’t be resolved with root canal therapy. After extraction, we discuss replacement options: implants, bridges, or dentures.

Recovery After Extraction

Day 1: Rest, ice, soft foods. Days 2-3: Peak swelling subsides. Days 4-7: Return to normal eating. Most Pembroke Pines patients resume activities within 1-2 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an extraction cost in Pembroke Pines?

Costs depend on simple vs. surgical extraction. Most insurance covers extractions. We provide estimates upfront. Call (954) 430-2300.

Is extraction painful?

No—effective anesthesia means no pain during the procedure. Post-operative soreness is manageable with OTC medication for most patients.

How long is recovery?

Most patients feel better within 2-3 days. Complete site healing takes weeks, but normal activities resume much sooner.

What can I eat after extraction?

Soft, cool foods for 24-48 hours: yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes. Avoid straws and hard foods for a week.

Should I get an implant after extraction?

We recommend replacing extracted teeth to prevent bone loss and shifting. Dental implants are the ideal replacement.

Can I drive home after?

Yes for simple extractions under local anesthesia. Surgical extractions with sedation require a driver.
