I am very pleased with my services from the staff at 7 O’Clock Dental and Dr. Tripp. The office is very clean and I was welcomed by Crystal at the front desk that made me at ease. I had a tooth that needed to be removed and I was extremely nervous about the procedure, but Dr. Tripp assured me that I would be fine. He removed the tooth and I could not believe it when he told me he was done. It was painless and extremely quick. I would recommend 7 O’Clock Dental to anyone seeking dental treatment.

Enjoy Patient-Friendly Technology for Trouble-Free Extractions
Dr. John Tripp, a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, uses a panoramic X-ray to plan your tooth extraction. Unlike traditional X-rays, which offer small views of your mouth, a panoramic X-ray shows your entire mouth, including:
- All of your teeth
- Your upper and lower jaws
- Your nasal area and sinuses
This reveals problems like bone abnormalities, impacted teeth, infections, or cysts that could otherwise complicate your extraction. The best time to find out about possible complications is before your procedure starts! We don’t have to put anything in your mouth for panoramic X-rays. You just relax as the machine rotates around your head and does its work.
We Care for You After Your Tooth Extraction
When you lose teeth, either by accident or extraction, your bone under that tooth will shrink. This loss of bone mass can lead to further tooth loss, which we never want to happen to you! We can preserve the sockets of your extracted teeth using bone growth supplements that Dr. Tripp places directly into the socket. This is ideal for patients who plan to get a dental implant or a dental bridge once healing has completed.
For stress-free tooth removal in New Orleans, call 7 O’Clock Dental, LLC at 504-266-0664. You can also schedule online. We’re located near the Central Business District, just off the Claiborne overpass bridge.
Common Questions About Tooth Removal / Extractions
It is difficult to put a price on this service, since each patient is different and has unique needs. Some factors that come into play include the location of the tooth, its condition, and how many teeth need to be removed. We’ll examine your mouth when you come in for your initial consultation and X-rays. Then we can give you a good idea of the cost for your procedure.
For most types of extractions, you can expect the site to heal within seven to 10 days. You play a role in how quickly you heal, however. We’ll give you complete aftercare instructions for you to follow. The closer you stick to these guidelines, the quicker and more comfortable your healing period will be.
Our compassionate team will do all we can to give you a comfortable tooth extraction. We will make sure the area we’re working on is completely numb before we begin, plus you can choose to receive oral sedation in pill form to keep you relaxed. We’ll also answer all your questions to help set your mind at ease. Your comfort is one of our top priorities.
