Making extractions easier than you think
Benefits
Most patients worry about having teeth removed until they experience how smooth the process can be. Modern techniques have made extractions much more comfortable than in the past. Our patients often tell us they expected much worse.
Quick healing
Most extraction sites heal comfortably within a few days, letting you get back to your normal routine quickly.
Stay comfortable
Modern techniques and proper planning mean most patients need only mild pain relief during recovery.
Easy care
Simple after-care steps help you heal properly and avoid any complications that could slow recovery time.
Future ready
Careful extraction preserves your bone structure, keeping your options open for implants or bridges later.
Why choose us
Removing teeth properly requires more than just pulling – it takes careful planning to protect bone structure and support future tooth replacement options. Even simple extractions need precise technique to prevent complications and ensure proper healing. Dr. Kitts uses 3D imaging to map root structures and detect potential challenges before treatment, making extractions more predictable and comfortable.
Dr. Kitts has refined his extraction techniques over 20 years of surgical experience. His thorough approach to planning and use of advanced imaging technology has helped hundreds of patients get through extractions comfortably while preserving their options for tooth replacement. Each extraction is performed with attention to both immediate comfort and long-term oral health.

I have been seeing Dr Kitts for at least 30 years, since I was a very small child and he was still at the previous office location. Even when I was living in another state, I timed my dentist appointments for my visits back to WA when possible. You cannot find a better dentist. The new office is very well equipped with the latest tech. The team is fantastic - typically I see Brett. I've never had a negative experience, not even when I was a little kid.

Frequently asked questions
We’ve collected answers to frequently asked questions about tooth extractions. This information covers what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, though your experience may vary based on your specific situation.
Is a tooth extraction painful?
During the procedure, you will be under anesthesia, so you won’t likely feel anything other than a small amount of pressure. After the extraction, it can be somewhat painful. Patients will be prescribed pain medication and rest for the first couple of days following the procedure.
Can I eat after a tooth extraction?
It’s important to wait at least an hour after the procedure before attempting to eat or drink anything. Soft foods such as mashed potatoes or soup can be consumed initially, and solid foods should be avoided for at least 24 hours.
How Long is recovery after a tooth extraction?
It will take about a week for the incision site to heal. During this time the area may be sore, sometimes painful. If a dry socket develops, patients can expect moderate discomfort for 7-10 days. Dry socket can happen if the clot releases too early, or if the clot never formed in the first place.
How long does bleeding last after a tooth extraction?
Some bleeding is normal after a tooth extraction, but it should stop within a few hours. You can control bleeding by applying pressure to the extraction site with a piece of gauze. If bleeding persists for more than a day or two, you should contact your dentist.
What should I do after a tooth extraction?
After a tooth extraction, you should rest and avoid physical activity for a day or two. You should also avoid eating hard or crunchy foods, smoking, and drinking through a straw. It’s essential to keep the extraction site clean by gently rinsing your mouth with salt water and brushing your teeth gently.
What are the risks of tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction is a safe and routine procedure, but there are some risks associated with it, such as infection, excessive bleeding, and damage to neighboring teeth or nerves. Your dentist will discuss these risks with you before the procedure and take steps to minimize them.
