Question 1

Does tooth extraction hurt?

Accepted Answer

No. All extractions at Omni Dental Studio are performed under local anesthesia so you feel no pain during the procedure. Mild soreness for 1–3 days afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Question 2

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Simple extractions typically heal within 1–2 weeks. Surgical extractions (including wisdom teeth) may take 2–4 weeks for full soft-tissue healing. Bone grafting sites require 3–6 months before implant placement.

Question 3

When do I need a bone graft after extraction?

Accepted Answer

A bone graft (socket preservation) is recommended when you plan to replace the extracted tooth with a dental implant. It prevents bone loss at the extraction site and ensures there is enough bone volume to support the implant.

Question 4

Can Omni Dental Studio remove wisdom teeth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Ariana Merchi, DMD performs surgical extractions including impacted and partially erupted wisdom teeth at Omni Dental Studio in Riverview, FL.

Question 5

What should I eat after oral surgery?

Accepted Answer

Stick to soft foods for the first 24–48 hours — yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, smoothies. Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods, hot liquids, and straws. Dr. Merchi will provide detailed post-operative instructions at your appointment.
