What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While saving a tooth is always the preferred outcome, extraction sometimes becomes necessary.

When a Tooth Extraction Becomes Necessary

  • A tooth is too damaged by decay or fracture to be restored with a crown or root canal
  • Advanced periodontal disease has caused severe bone loss and tooth mobility
  • A tooth is infected and cannot be saved
  • An impacted wisdom tooth is causing pain, crowding, or infection
  • An orthodontic treatment plan requires removal of a tooth to create space
  • A primary (baby) tooth has not fallen out in time for the permanent tooth to erupt normally
After an extraction, keep the blood clot in place to avoid dry socket — no smoking, no straws, and no forceful spitting for 24–72 hours. Expect bleeding controlled with gauze for 30–60 minutes, swelling and soreness for 2–5 days managed with OTC or prescribed medication, and a soft diet for 3–5 days; most patients feel significantly better within 3–5 days.
Step-by-step

How a Tooth Extraction Works at Boca in Reno

[ 01 ]

Exam & X-Rays

We confirm extraction is necessary and assess root anatomy.

[ 02 ]

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is administered, with sedation available for anxious patients or surgical cases.

[ 03 ]

Extraction

The tooth is loosened with an elevator instrument and removed with forceps (simple), or surgical access is made and the tooth is sectioned and removed (surgical).

[ 04 ]

Clot Formation & Post-Op Instructions

Gauze is placed to control bleeding, and detailed post-op care instructions are provided.

Replacement Discussion

Options for tooth replacement (implant, bridge, partial denture) are discussed and scheduling is arranged before you leave.

Duration / Timeline

Initial gum healing takes 1–2 weeks, with complete bone healing at the site over 3–6 months. Most patients feel normal within 3–5 days for simple extractions and 5–10 days for surgical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tooth Extractions in Reno — Your Questions, Answered

Everything Reno and Sparks patients ask us most about tooth extractions — tap any question to read the answer.

Simple extractions at Boca typically cost $150–$300. Surgical extractions $250–$600 depending on complexity. Most PPO plans cover extractions under restorative or surgical benefits; Nevada Medicaid covers medically necessary extractions. Our team provides a cost breakdown before treatment.
Not during the procedure — local anesthesia ensures you feel pressure but no pain. Post-extraction soreness for 2–5 days is expected and managed with OTC or prescribed pain medication.
Initial healing (gum closure) takes 1–2 weeks. Complete bone healing at the site takes 3–6 months. Most patients feel normal within 3–5 days for simple extractions; 5–10 days for surgical.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot that forms in the extraction site becomes dislodged or dissolves before the wound heals, exposing the bone and nerve. It causes significant pain typically starting 3–5 days after extraction. To prevent it: avoid smoking, straws, and forceful spitting for 72 hours. If you develop dry socket, call Boca — we treat it with a medicated dressing.
Leaving a gap after extraction allows adjacent teeth to shift into the space over time, causes jawbone resorption beneath the gap (bone loss begins within months), changes your bite alignment, and can lead to long-term facial structure changes. Boca offers implants, bridges, and dentures — all in-house — so replacement can be planned immediately after extraction.
