Does tooth extraction hurt?

No. With modern local anaesthetic solutions, the area is completely numb. You will feel pressure as the tooth is gently loosened, but no sharp pain.

How soon should I replace an extracted tooth?

We recommend discussing tooth replacement (such as a dental implant or fixed bridge) immediately. Leaving a gap unfilled causes neighboring teeth to drift, tilt, and opposing teeth to over-erupt.

What should I do if the socket keeps bleeding at home?

Place a clean, damp cotton gauze pad or a moistened black tea bag directly over the socket and bite down firmly and continuously for 45 minutes without talking or spitting.

Can I get an implant placed on the same day as my extraction?

In many cases, yes. If the surrounding bone is healthy and free of active infection, an immediate dental implant can be placed right into the extraction socket, saving months of treatment time.

What happens during a tooth extraction?

After an X-ray and thorough local numbing, Dr. Sneha loosens the tooth gently and removes it with minimal pressure on the surrounding bone. Gauze controls the bleeding, and you leave with written aftercare instructions and advice on replacing the tooth. Most simple extractions take 20 to 30 minutes.

Understanding the treatment

What is Gentle Tooth Extraction?

We always try to save a natural tooth first, but when a tooth is badly cracked, decayed beyond repair or loosened by advanced gum disease, timely tooth extraction protects the jawbone and stops infection. At Dr. Sneha-The Dental Studio in Wadgaon Sheri, Pune, we perform gentle, atraumatic extractions for patients from Kharadi, Viman Nagar and Kalyani Nagar.

Dr. Sneha Sardar (BDS) uses luxators and periotomes to preserve bone and plans replacement with a dental implant or bridge; wisdom teeth are covered under wisdom tooth removal. You can book a consultation, or call ahead for a same-day visit.

After your visit

Recovery & aftercare

Good aftercare protects your result. We'll give you personalised instructions after treatment; this is a general guide to what most patients can expect.

Recovery timeline

First 24 hours
Bite firmly on the sterile gauze pack for 45 minutes; do not spit, drink through a straw, or smoke.
Day 2 onwards
Rinse mouth gently with warm salt water after meals; resume gentle brushing while avoiding the socket.
Replacement consultation
Plan your dental implant or bridge replacement within a few weeks to prevent adjacent teeth from tilting.

Aftercare tips

Eat soft, cool foods such as curd, dal-khichdi, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first 24 to 48 hours
Apply a cold ice pack to the outside of your cheek intermittently for 15 minutes at a time to minimize swelling
Never poke the extraction socket with a toothpick, finger, or tongue, as this disrupts the healing blood clot

Call us if you notice

Persistent, active bleeding that continues heavily after 60 minutes of firm gauze pressure
Severe pain developing after day 2 that does not respond to prescribed analgesics
High fever, chills, or difficulty swallowing following the procedure
