At Darien Implant & Oral Surgery Center, we understand that the prospect of a tooth extraction can feel overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with a persistent ache, a crowded smile, or a damaged tooth that can no longer be saved, our mission is to provide you with a stress-free, comfortable experience right here in the heart of Darien.
We don’t just treat teeth; we care for people. Our team combines clinical excellence with a warm, patient-first approach to ensure you feel informed, relaxed, and supported every step of the way.
While our primary goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, there are times when an extraction is the healthiest choice for your overall well-being. Common reasons include:
Our surgeons are highly trained in both simple and complex extractions.
We offer various sedation options to ensure your visit is completely pain-free.
We guide you through the healing process with clear instructions and follow-up care.
Your comfort is our top priority. The area will be completely numbed with local anesthesia, so you should only feel slight pressure, not pain. For patients who feel anxious, we offer various sedation levels to ensure a peaceful experience.
Most patients feel back to themselves within 3 to 5 days. While the initial healing of the gum tissue takes about 1 to 2 weeks, we will provide you with specific instructions to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
Stick to soft foods for the first few days. We recommend yogurt, applesauce, lukewarm soups, and smoothies (but remember: no straws!). You can gradually reintroduce solid foods as your comfort allows.
In many cases, yes. Replacing a missing tooth helps prevent your other teeth from shifting and maintains your jawbone health. We specialize in dental implants, which are the gold standard for restoring your smile’s function and beauty.
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the extraction (simple vs. surgical). During your consultation, we provide a transparent breakdown of costs and work with you to maximize your insurance benefits.
If you only receive local anesthesia, you can drive yourself home. However, if you opt for IV sedation or general anesthesia, you will need a trusted friend or family member to drive you and stay with you for a few hours.
