Why Anaheim Hills Patients Choose MySmile for Extractions
Upfront pricing, sedation options, and replacement planning all in one visit.
Straightforward Pricing
We give you the cost upfront before any work begins. Simple extractions typically run $150 to $350 per tooth, and surgical extractions $200 to $600 depending on complexity. These are typical industry ranges and your actual cost depends on your specific situation and insurance. No surprises on your bill.
Sedation Available for Anxious Patients
Extractions are one of the procedures patients worry about most. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation to keep you calm and comfortable. Many patients tell us the extraction was nothing like what they expected.
Multiple Extractions in One Visit
If you need more than one tooth extracted, Dr. Bhatia can often do them all in a single appointment, especially with sedation. This means one recovery period instead of several and fewer days off work.
Tooth Replacement Options Discussed Upfront
Before extracting a tooth, Dr. Bhatia will discuss your replacement options: dental implants, bridges, or partials. Planning the replacement before the extraction often produces better results and can save you time and money.
Evening Appointments Available
Open until 7 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Schedule your extraction or consultation after work without taking time off.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction
For a simple extraction, the process is straightforward. Dr. Bhatia numbs the area thoroughly with local anesthesia, then loosens and removes the tooth. The entire procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. You may feel pressure during the extraction but should not feel pain.
Surgical extractions are needed when a tooth is broken below the gumline, partially impacted, or in a position that makes simple removal difficult. Dr. Bhatia makes a small incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth. Sedation is especially helpful for surgical cases and for patients having multiple teeth removed at once.
After the extraction, Dr. Bhatia places gauze over the site and gives you detailed instructions for recovery at home. Most patients manage any discomfort with over-the-counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen. She will also discuss tooth replacement options if appropriate, including dental implants which can sometimes be planned for the same visit as the extraction.

How much does a tooth extraction cost in Anaheim Hills?
Simple extractions (teeth that are fully visible above the gumline) typically cost $150 to $350 per tooth. Surgical extractions (broken, impacted, or difficult teeth) range from $200 to $600 per tooth. Wisdom teeth extractions can be higher depending on complexity. These are typical industry ranges. Contact our office at (714) 998-4151 for an estimate based on your specific situation.
Does insurance cover tooth extractions?
Yes. Most dental insurance plans cover extractions, especially when they are medically necessary. Coverage typically ranges from 50% to 80% after your deductible, depending on your plan. We verify your insurance benefits before the procedure so you know your exact out-of-pocket cost. For any remaining balance, financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and LendingClub.
How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?
Wisdom teeth extraction costs depend on whether the teeth are erupted or impacted. Simple wisdom tooth removal (fully erupted) is in the range of a standard extraction. Impacted wisdom teeth that require surgical removal are more complex and cost more. If all four wisdom teeth need to come out, doing them in one visit with sedation is often the most cost-effective approach. Dr. Bhatia will evaluate your specific case and give you an exact estimate.
Does getting a tooth pulled hurt?
The extraction itself should not be painful. The area is thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia before any work begins. You will feel pressure but not pain. For patients who are anxious, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation for deeper relaxation. After the procedure, some soreness is normal for a few days and is manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long does recovery take after a tooth extraction?
Most patients feel significantly better within 2 to 3 days after a simple extraction. Surgical extractions and wisdom teeth removal may take 5 to 7 days for the initial healing. You can usually return to work the next day for simple extractions, though you may want to plan a day or two off for surgical cases. Dr. Bhatia will give you detailed aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly.
What should I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods for the first 2 to 3 days: yogurt, mashed potatoes, soup (not hot), smoothies, scrambled eggs, and applesauce. Avoid straws, spitting, smoking, and hard or crunchy foods during the initial healing period. Gradually reintroduce normal foods as the area heals. For more detailed recommendations, see our guide on what to eat after dental procedures.
What happens if I do not replace an extracted tooth?
When a tooth is removed and not replaced, the surrounding teeth can shift into the gap over time. This can cause bite problems, jaw pain, and difficulty chewing. The jawbone in the extraction area also begins to shrink without a tooth root to stimulate it. Dr. Bhatia will discuss replacement options (implants, bridges, or partials) before the extraction so you can plan ahead.
Can you remove multiple teeth in one visit?
Yes. If multiple teeth need to come out, doing them in one visit is often the best approach, especially with sedation. This means one round of anesthesia, one recovery period, and fewer total appointments. Dr. Bhatia regularly handles multiple extractions in a single session for patients who need it.
