Tooth Extraction

Most patients feel only mild pressure thanks to modern anesthetics. Our PRF and ozone protocols also cut down post-op swelling and pain.

Many people return to desk work the next day. If your job is physically demanding, plan on 2–3 days of rest.

Yes—if bone quality allows, we can place a bioceramic implant immediately after extraction for faster overall healing.

We offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation so you can relax—or even “sleep”—through the procedure.

Most PPO dental plans cover extractions at 50–80 %. Our team verifies your benefits in advance and provides clear out-of-pocket estimates.

Yes—dentists use “tooth removal” and “tooth extraction” interchangeably. Both terms refer to taking a tooth out of its socket. At Groton Wellness, every removal/extraction follows our biologic protocol: ozone disinfection, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to speed healing, and comfort options ranging from local anesthetic to IV sedation. Whether it’s a simple single-root tooth or an impacted wisdom tooth, the goal is the same—remove the source of infection and set the stage for future health.

We prioritize your comfort at every step. Most patients say the procedure feels like gentle pressure—thanks to modern numbing and optional sedation. We also use ozone therapy and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) to reduce inflammation and speed healing. If you’re nervous, we offer calming options like nitrous oxide or IV sedation so you can relax deeply during your visit.

First, we take a 3D CBCT scan to map your roots, nerves, and sinuses. On the day of your visit, we gently numb the area and use minimally invasive techniques to remove the tooth with as little trauma as possible. We then clean the socket with ozone and place PRF from your own blood to accelerate healing. The entire visit is calm, supportive, and biologically focused.

Most people feel back to normal in 48–72 hours. If you had a surgical or wisdom tooth extraction, full tissue and bone healing may take several weeks. Using PRF and ozone speeds recovery and reduces post-op discomfort. We’ll guide you through every stage—including what to eat, how to clean gently, and when to come in for a follow-up.

Stick to soft, nourishing foods for the first 2–3 days—think smoothies, broths, mashed veggies, and soft scrambled eggs. Avoid straws, crunchy snacks, or anything hot that may disrupt the healing site. We may recommend anti-inflammatory or mineral-rich foods (or supplements) to support biologic healing based on your health history.

If you're in severe pain or think you have an infection, call us right away at 978-449-9919. We do our best to offer same-day or next-day appointments. Our biologic approach means we’ll treat not just the problem tooth, but your whole system—supporting you with detox protocols, IV nutrients, and pain relief options tailored to your body.

Not always. At Groton Wellness, we never recommend unnecessary procedures. We use 3D imaging to evaluate whether your wisdom teeth are impacted, causing crowding, or harboring hidden infections. If removal is needed, we perform the procedure gently with ozone disinfection, PRF, and optional IV sedation for a smoother recovery.

Yes! “Tooth removal” and “tooth extraction” are different ways of describing the same procedure. What matters most is how it's done. At Groton Wellness, every extraction follows a biologic protocol to preserve your overall health—ozone, PRF, and no leftover periodontal ligament to promote cleaner, safer healing.
