Avoid Long-Term Damage

Before proceeding with an extraction, your dentist will review your medical and oral health history. We'll also determine if other procedures can help, such as a root canal or gum disease treatment.

When saving your natural tooth isn't possible, extraction becomes necessary. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.

We begin by thoroughly numbing the area. You won't feel a thing. Your dentist will use advanced technology to carefully remove the tooth.

Afterward, we'll provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to manage any discomfort. You'll receive specific dietary restrictions and oral care guidelines to promote proper recovery.

Rebuild Your Smile

We offer replacement solutions to restore your smile. An implant-crown combination provides the most natural-feeling replacement for a single tooth. Traditional or implant bridges can replace several missing teeth in a row.

Your dentist may include an extraction when planning your denture placement. After a period of healing, you can return to our office to continue with your procedure.

Long-term success with your tooth removal in Lancaster depends on proper maintenance, including regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene.

We'll guide you in preventing future dental issues after your procedure. You'll leave our office feeling good about your dental health. Schedule a visit with us for our expert care.

As a new patient, they were still VERY accommodating with my schedule and able to get me in for a cleaning and evaluate some discomfort I was having. They were extremely kind and went out of their way to make sure I understood all my insurance and options so their was no surprises before coming in for my appointment. Dr. Rashi was excellent and the first appointment was really thorough. She clearly has a lot of patients but it was obvious the health and well being of each individual patient is a priority.

The Invisalign process was definitely a journey. It took a while to get used to the new extra steps like flossing and brushing my teeth after every meal, but it was well worth it. I'm happy. Invisalign was the right choice for me.

Kaishla R.

I've been going to Dr. Rashi for years now. She's so kind, polite, & professional. The staff is very nice & the office's very clean. I made sure to request no fluoride for my daughters since I don't like the use of fluoride for my kids. I recommend this place : )

I have been going to smile care group with Dr. Rashi for many years. She makes my visits comfortable and feel personal. She always gives what I believe are the best recommendations on keeping up with my dental care. Ms. Yvette and the staff must all be cut from the same cloth. As I never see a person in the office with anything other than a welcoming face. It always feels great to be greeted by first name as you enter a building. Thank you 😃


Common Questions About Tooth Removal

How long will my extraction procedure take?

Most single tooth extractions take 30-45 minutes from start to finish. Your procedure time may vary depending on the tooth location and complexity. We ensure thorough numbing beforehand and monitor your comfort throughout. Plus, we'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

What can I eat after my tooth extraction?

Start with soft, cool foods for the first 24 to 48 hours. Smoothies, yogurt, and pudding work well, but avoid using straws. As healing progresses, you can gradually return to firmer foods. We'll provide specific dietary guidelines tailored to your situation and ensure you understand exactly what's safe to eat and when.

When can I return to work or normal activities?

Most patients return to work or regular activities within one to two days after a routine extraction. Your dentist will discuss any specific activity restrictions based on your procedure and healing progress. You'll return to our office after your mouth has recovered for your restoration.
