Tooth Extraction in Shawnee, KS
A tooth extraction involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While we always strive to preserve your natural teeth, certain situations may require an extraction for your overall dental health. Monticello Family Dental prioritizes your comfort and ensures the procedure is efficient and straightforward.
To enhance your experience, we use local anesthesia and nitrous sedation. This helps create a calm, comfortable environment for your procedure. Follow our aftercare instructions closely to promote a smooth recovery.

How does a dentist treat dry socket?
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site is dislodged or dissolves, exposing the bone and nerves. Dr. Sells treats this by:
- Cleaning the socket to remove debris.
- Applying a medicated dressing to promote healing.
- Prescribing pain relief to manage discomfort.
-
How long after an extraction can I get a tooth implant?
The timing for a dental implant depends on individual healing and bone health. Typically, patients can receive an implant 3 to 6 months after an extraction, allowing the bone to heal fully and provide a stable foundation.
