Types of Extractions
Basic Extractions
Basic extractions are a common dental procedure performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth and can be easily removed using forceps. Dr. Luis and Dr. Tori Mariusso at Confident Smiles & Implants typically perform these extractions for teeth that are severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or loosened by gum disease. In some cases, teeth may need to be removed to facilitate orthodontic treatment. To ensure your comfort during the procedure, our experienced doctors use local anesthesia, allowing for a pain-free extraction process. Our team's expertise and gentle approach make basic extractions a straightforward and manageable experience for patients in the Farragut, Greater Knoxville area, and Lenoir City.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often require extraction due to various reasons. These include lack of space in the jaw, improper alignment, or the risk of infection and decay. At Confident Smiles & Implants, Dr. Luis and Dr. Tori Mariusso take a thorough approach to wisdom teeth evaluation. We carefully assess each patient's situation to determine if extraction is necessary. Our team utilizes advanced imaging technology to plan the most efficient and comfortable extraction process possible. This comprehensive approach allows us to address potential issues before they become more serious, ensuring the best outcomes for our patients' oral health. Whether you're experiencing discomfort or simply need a preventive extraction, our skilled team is here to provide top-quality care for residents of the Greater Knoxville area.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Impacted wisdom teeth are those that haven't fully emerged from the gums or jawbone. These can be more challenging to remove and may require a surgical approach. Dr. Luis and Dr. Tori Mariusso have extensive experience in handling complex impacted wisdom teeth cases, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients in the Greater Knoxville area.

Still have questions?
We're here to help you!
Will I feel pain during the extraction?
You’ll be completely numbed before we begin, and we offer sedation options to help you feel relaxed. Most patients are surprised by how quick and painless the process actually is.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Initial healing usually takes 1–2 weeks. We'll walk you through every aftercare step and check in as you heal. If you need a graft to preserve the area for a future implant, we’ll talk about that, too.
What can I expect during the healing process?
Immediate Aftercare
(First 24 Hours)
Control bleeding by biting down on gauze. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and take prescribed pain medications as directed. Avoid smoking and drinking through straws to prevent complications.
Initial Healing
(1-2 Weeks)
Eat soft foods and gently rinse with salt water starting 24 hours after the procedure. Initial healing typically occurs during this period, with soft tissue healing progressing over 3-4 weeks.
Long-Term Recovery
(Several Months)
Complete bone healing can take several months. Attend follow-up appointments at Confident Smiles & Implants for Dr. Luis and Dr. Tori Mariusso to monitor your progress. Don't hesitate to call (865) 518-2297 with any concerns during your recovery.
