Still, suffering from a painful tooth that just won’t let up?
Whether it’s an infection that keeps flaring up, a wisdom tooth pushing in the wrong direction, or damage too severe to fix, sometimes, the only way to find relief is through extraction.
We know that even the word “extraction” can trigger anxiety. However, at West Palm Beach Family Dental, patients from Greenacres trust us because we strive to make the experience as calm, quick, and pain-free as possible.
With gentle techniques, advanced digital imaging, and sedation options tailored to your comfort level, you’ll be surprised by how easy it can be.
And with same-day appointments and affordable pricing, you won’t have to wait or worry.
Tooth extraction isn’t always the first choice—but sometimes, it’s the most responsible one.
If you’re experiencing constant pain or swelling, or your dentist has told you that a tooth can’t be saved, removing it may be the safest path forward.
At our Greenacres location, we help patients understand why extraction is necessary and walk them through every option for healing and restoration.
Some of the most common reasons we recommend extraction include:
If you’re unsure, don’t worry—our team will give you honest answers and a clear treatment plan during your free consultation.
Every step of the extraction process at our Greenacres clinic is designed for precision, comfort, and clarity.
From your first consultation to your recovery plan, our approach prioritizes clear communication, minimal discomfort, and fast healing, so you know exactly what’s happening and why.
Your journey begins with a complimentary consultation that includes a comprehensive oral exam and high-resolution digital X-rays.
We take the time to assess your situation thoroughly and explain every option, whether that means removing the tooth or saving it—no pressure, no sales pitch—just honest advice from a team that cares.
Once you’re ready to proceed, we’ll numb the area with a gentle local anesthetic so you won’t feel a thing.
For those with dental anxiety or complex procedures, we offer multiple sedation options—from laughing gas to IV sedation—so you stay calm and pain-free throughout.
Using minimally invasive techniques, our dentists carefully loosen and remove the tooth with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue.
If necessary, dissolvable stitches are placed to support the healing process. Most extractions are quicker and smoother than patients expect.
After your extraction, we’ll walk you through detailed recovery instructions—what to eat, what to avoid, and how to care for the area.
We’ll also schedule a follow-up if needed to check healing and answer any post-procedure questions. You’re never left wondering what comes next.

Dental anxiety shouldn’t keep you from getting relief. That’s why we offer three levels of sedation tailored to your comfort and procedure type, all available right here in Greenacres.
This light, fast-acting sedation helps alleviate nervousness without putting you to sleep. It wears off quickly, so you can safely drive home after your visit.
Taken as a pill before your appointment, oral sedation provides deeper relaxation for those who want to stay awake but feel calm and detached during the procedure. You’ll need a ride home, but many patients find it ideal.
For more involved extractions or patients with high anxiety, IV sedation offers the deepest level of comfort while keeping you responsive.
Our trained professionals closely monitor the process to ensure your safety throughout.

Understanding the healing process helps you recover faster and minimizes the risk of complications.
Our team at West Palm Beach Family Dental provides every Greenacres patient with detailed aftercare instructions and direct access in case questions arise post-extraction.
Here’s what to expect once you head home.
Bleeding typically stops within a few hours after the procedure, and a protective blood clot will form in the socket.
Mild soreness or swelling is common, but most patients begin to feel significantly better within two to three days. Full healing of the tissue may take one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
During the first 48 hours, stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and applesauce. Avoid using straws, eating crunchy snacks, or drinking hot beverages, as these can dislodge the clot and delay the healing process. Hydrate often—but sip gently.
If you experience intense pain after the third day, a bad taste in your mouth, or visible bone in the socket, you may have a dry socket—a common but treatable issue.
Swelling that worsens, pus, or fever could indicate infection. In any of these cases, call our Greenacres office immediately so we can help you heal properly and quickly.
When it comes to removing a tooth, experience, speed, and trust matter. Green Acres residents choose West Palm Beach Family Dental because we combine clinical precision with the kind of convenience and transparency that’s hard to find in corporate offices or chains.

We’re locally owned—not a dental franchise—which means your treatment is never rushed or upsold. Every decision is made with your comfort and long-term health in mind.
We offer straightforward pricing with no hidden fees or last-minute surprises. Your full quote is reviewed during your consultation, and we’ll always help you understand exactly what’s necessary—and what isn’t.
If you’re in pain, waiting isn’t an option. We offer same-day and next-day appointments in Greenacres, with sedation options available for both simple and surgical extractions.
With over 100 five-star reviews, our practice is known throughout Greenacres, Palm Springs, and West Palm Beach for providing clean, efficient, and stress-free extractions. Patients regularly refer friends and family because they trust the experience.
We believe in giving patients accurate, upfront pricing without pressure. The total cost depends on your specific case, but we ensure that you understand every detail before anything begins.
Simple extractions typically range from $125 to $200 per tooth, depending on location, condition, and root structure. These are ideal for loose or non-impacted teeth.
If the tooth is broken below the gum line or requires bone removal (often the case with wisdom teeth), surgical extractions may be more expensive. Pricing varies, but a detailed breakdown will be provided during your complimentary consultation.
We accept most PPO insurance plans and will check your benefits in advance. No insurance?
We offer CareCredit financing and flexible in-house payment options to make treatment affordable for every patient in Greenacres.
Tooth extraction is just one part of a healthy dental plan. If you’re considering follow-up care—such as replacing a missing tooth or addressing other oral health concerns—our Greenacres team offers a comprehensive range of restorative and preventive treatments, all under one roof.

How long does a tooth extraction take?
Most extractions take 20 to 40 minutes from start to finish. Surgical extractions may take longer, especially for impacted or multi-rooted teeth.
Can I drive home after the procedure?
If you receive local anesthesia only, yes. However, if you choose oral or IV sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you home for safety reasons.
What should I avoid during healing?
Avoid smoking, drinking through straws, hot liquids, and vigorous rinsing for 24–48 hours to prevent dry sockets and support clot formation.
How soon can I replace the tooth?
In most cases, you can begin the replacement process (with a dental implant or bridge) after a few weeks of healing. Your dentist will guide you on the ideal timing.
Will insurance cover my extraction?
Most PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost, especially when extractions are medically necessary. We’ll verify and explain your benefits beforehand.
Is it better to save or pull the tooth?
We’ll always explore ways to save your tooth first, such as root canal therapy. But if the tooth is beyond repair, extraction is often the best option to prevent further pain or infection.
