 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I live in Jacksonville, and used to travel to Sneads Ferry to Smith Family Dentistry because I loved the staff there. Even when they opened a location right down the street from me, I kept driving that 30 minutes. Then Dr. Peachee came along and increased my love for the staff even more. He is by far the best dentist I have ever had. That's saying a lot because I'm almost 60, and have always had a mouth full of trouble. So now I travel an hour and 23 minutes, and it's still worth it. The staff at this location is amazing as well. I highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I would highly recommend the dentist office 💯 as I was coming out of Harris teeter Julie who works in the office was opening the door and I asked if they were accepting new patients, she was so pleasant and informative and told me yes. I then went home to take the medicine I just purchased at Harris teeter due to extreme pain from two cavities when was a broken filling. And then dealt with Danae, she was so sweet sent right over the forms I needed to fill out and scheduled me appointment ASAP. Special shout-out to Kim and Dr Peachee for making my procedure the quickest easiest and funniest experience I've ever had at a dentist. Trust me I was in no mood to laugh but due to their professionalism an immediate care I know I was in safe hands. Highly recommend any dental needs you have, give this office a shot! You won't regret it!

Most Popular Questions

When is tooth extraction necessary?

Extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is severely damaged from trauma or decay beyond repair, has advanced periodontal disease affecting its stability, is causing overcrowding, or has become infected and cannot be saved with root canal therapy. Wisdom teeth often require removal when they're impacted or causing problems.

Is tooth extraction painful?

With modern techniques and anesthesia, you should feel pressure but not pain during extraction. We use local anesthesia for all extractions and offer sedation options for anxious patients or complex procedures. After the procedure, any discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication.

What is the recovery process like?

Most patients return to normal activities within 48-72 hours after a simple extraction. Initial healing takes about two weeks, with complete healing of the socket occurring over 3-6 months. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize complications like dry socket.

What are my options after extraction?

A: After extraction, replacement options include dental implants (the gold standard for tooth replacement), fixed bridges, or removable partial dentures. Dr. Peachee will discuss which option best suits your specific situation. In some cases, like wisdom teeth removal, no replacement is needed.

How should I prepare for a tooth extraction?

A: Before your extraction, provide a complete medical history, inform us of all medications you take, and follow any pre-procedure instructions. If receiving sedation, arrange for someone to drive you home afterward. Wear comfortable clothing and avoid eating for the time period recommended based on your sedation level.

What complications should I watch for after extraction?

A: While complications are rare, contact us immediately if you experience severe pain after 48 hours, excessive bleeding that doesn't subside with pressure, fever, severe swelling, difficulty swallowing, or prolonged numbness. These could indicate infection or other complications requiring prompt attention.
