How We Handle Tooth Extractions in Plano
Our process is designed around one principle: your comfort is as important as your smile.
Step 1: The Exam
We start with digital imaging to assess the tooth. If it can be saved, we’ll tell you. If it must go, we explain why clearly, using visual aids so you understand exactly what’s happening. We treat many busy professionals from the Medical City Plano area and parents from West Plano who have put off dental care for years.
Step 2: Sedation for Total Peace of Mind
Terrified of the “cracking” sound or the pressure? We offer Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) and Oral Conscious Sedation. You can drift through the appointment in a “twilight” state and wake up with the procedure already done. Our sedation protocols are designed for anxious patients who need to feel safe and in control.
Step 3: The “Zero-Downtime” Recovery Protocol
We know our patients—especially students at John Paul II or Plano Senior—can’t afford to miss a week of life. We use minimally invasive, atraumatic techniques to preserve bone and reduce swelling, so you can get back to your schedule faster. Dr. Kung’s Fellowship training in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI) means he’s thinking about your long-term smile from the moment the tooth is removed—protecting the socket for potential future implants.
Post-Extraction Care in Plano (Allergy Season Edition)
If you have a tooth removed during high-pollen seasons, you must take extra precautions to avoid Dry Socket or sinus complications unique to North Texas:
- The “Open-Mouth” Sneeze: If the pollen count is high and you must sneeze, do so with your mouth open. This prevents pressure buildup in the sinus cavity that could dislodge your healing blood clot.
- Avoid Decongestants (If Possible): Some allergy meds cause Dry Mouth (Xerostomia), which slows healing. We’ll provide a specific hydration plan to counteract this.
No Straws at zTAO: It might be tempting to grab a bubble tea at zTAO Marketplace down the street, but the suction from a straw is the #1 cause of dry sockets. Stick to spoon-fed foods for the first 72 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tooth Extractions in Plano
Can I get a same-day emergency extraction in Plano?
Yes. If you’re in severe pain, we prioritize emergency cases. We’re located just minutes from the George Bush Turnpike, making us accessible from anywhere in North Dallas. Toothaches don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
I’m worried about the gap. Can you place an implant immediately?
Dr. Kung is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI). In many cases, we can perform “immediate placement,” putting a dental implant in at the same time the tooth is removed. This saves you months of healing time and a second surgery. We’ll assess your case during the initial exam and explain all your options clearly.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most major PPO insurance plans. For our patients without insurance, our Vitality Dental Wellness Plan offers significant discounts on oral surgery. We’ll be glad to offer complimentary insurance benefits advice. We understand that dental insurance can be complicated to navigate, and we’re here to take the uncertainty out of the picture.
How long is the recovery time?
Most patients return to work or school within 24–48 hours. Our atraumatic extraction techniques minimize swelling and preserve bone structure, which accelerates healing. We’ll provide you with a detailed recovery protocol tailored to your lifestyle, whether you’re a busy executive at Legacy West or a student with finals coming up.
