The Treatment Plan
There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be removed, such as baby teeth that don’t fall out naturally, teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes, or teeth affected by severe pain or infection.
A dental extraction is typically completed in one visit by a dentist. Here’s how we manage the process:
Looking for Solutions
Although extraction might seem like the only option for relief, it isn’t always the case. Whenever possible, we aim to preserve your natural tooth while ensuring your health and comfort. Before any extraction, we will carefully examine your situation and discuss alternative treatments that could save the tooth while providing the relief you need.
The Removal Process
To make the procedure as comfortable as possible, a local anesthetic will be used to numb the area around the tooth. If necessary, sedation options may also be available. Using minimally invasive techniques, we strive to remove the tooth gently and efficiently, focusing on reducing discomfort and ensuring a speedy recovery.
Feeling Better
After the extraction, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions on how to care for the site as it heals, what to expect during recovery, and what to do if any complications arise. We’re always here to support you and can schedule a follow-up appointment to address any concerns you may have as you heal.
Cost of a Dental Extraction in Mississauga
The cost of a dental extraction can vary based on several factors. With a typical insurance plan, out-of-pocket costs usually range between $100 and $200+. Without insurance, the price typically falls between $200 and $600+ per tooth. We can provide a detailed quote after an oral exam, which you can submit to your insurance provider to determine your final out-of-pocket costs.
No dental practice can give an exact quote over the phone since your treatment plan must be customized to your unique needs. However, dental extractions generally fall into two main categories, which can help clarify potential costs:
Simple Tooth Extraction
This type of extraction is performed on teeth visible in the mouth and is typically completed by a general dentist using local anesthesia. A straightforward extraction of an easily accessible tooth without complications will generally be less expensive.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
Surgical extractions are more complex and involve teeth that are difficult to access, such as those that have not fully erupted or have broken off at the gum line. These procedures require greater precision and expertise, which results in higher costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Removing wisdom teeth is not always necessary. They only need to be extracted if they are impacted or if they interfere with the alignment of your jaw and teeth.
Modern dentistry prioritizes patient comfort. We use advanced tools and techniques to minimize discomfort, work efficiently, and reduce trauma to promote faster healing. After your procedure, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a comfortable and speedy recovery.
About an hour after your procedure, you may remove the gauze sponges in your mouth and have something to eat. Stick to soft foods for the first 24 hours and avoid hot foods and using straws for several hours to prevent complications.
We will provide aftercare instructions tailored to your specific needs. Generally, you should:
- Avoid spitting, rinsing, blowing your nose, using a straw, or smoking for the first 24 hours.
- Refrain from touching the extraction site with your finger or tongue.
- Stay away from hot foods and drinks.
- Avoid taking aspirin, as it can inhibit blood clotting.
- Limit physical activities and exercise during the initial recovery period.
Plan for three to four days of rest or light activity following your wisdom tooth extraction to reduce the risk of complications and promote healing. While full recovery takes about two weeks, you should feel minimal discomfort during this time.
