Dental Care Without the Stress
Insurance, Financing, and Membership Plans
Tooth extraction is often considered medically necessary, so most dental insurance plans help cover the cost. Our office works with most insurance providers, but if you don’t have insurance, we offer flexible solutions:
- Join our in-house savings plan with no deductibles, waiting periods, or annual maximums.
- Secure CareCredit® or Cherry Financing for low- or no-interest monthly payments.
- Get a transparent cost estimate before your treatment begins.
Our goal is to make care affordable so that Salt Lake City patients never have to put off essential treatment.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
While Dr. Thomas always aims to save natural teeth, extraction may be the best option if you have:
- Severe Tooth Decay or Infection
- Advanced Gum Disease
- Fractured or Broken Roots
- Crowding or Orthodontic Needs
Prompt treatment can protect your overall oral health and prevent further complications.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
We’ll begin with a thorough exam and X-rays to plan your procedure. Dr. Thomas will ensure you’re fully numb and relaxed before gently removing the tooth. The process isn’t especially uncomfortable, but adding sedation to your treatment plan can make it virtually stress-free.
Recovery & Aftercare
Mild swelling and discomfort are normal for the first few days, but they can be managed with prescribed pain medication, ice packs, and soft foods. Most patients feel significantly better within a week. If you experience excessive bleeding, swelling, or a fever during your recovery, call our Salt Lake City office right away.
