I had a great experience and truly appreciate the care I received. I came in with a painful tooth infection, and the dentist handled everything with professionalism, compassion, and skill. The drainage procedure was done smoothly, and they made sure I was comfortable the entire time while clearly explaining what was happening. I felt immediate relief and knew I was in good hands. The staff was also friendly and supportive from start to finish. I'm very grateful for the prompt treatment and highly recommend this office to anyone needing quality dental care.

I brought my daughter in for a same day emergency appointment due to an orthodontic related issue, as Dr. Sikka was practically the only office I found on google to be open on weekends. Dr. Sikka was quick and gentle, and my daughter was in and out of the chair within minutes. He answered a few of my questions and I appreciate him even showing me how implants are done! Since then, I have brought my two children back for cleanings. What started as a quick stop, has led us to find our new dentist! Clean office, and he takes the time to talk to you and explain everything. So grateful to have found Dr. Sikka.

I was looking for a new dentist that was closer to home. I stumbled upon Higher Ground Dentistry. As an educator I appreciate their weekend appointments. It's a small, family staffed business and I love the personal approach. They know my name, remember details about my life, and are easy to talk to. My husband switched to them too!

Súper honest dentist. Does not have you waiting or a ton of patients at at time. When you get scheduled it's you and at most another patient. Makes you feel completely comfortable. I definitely recommended for my family to come and friends.

Common Questions

How long does recovery take after a tooth extraction?

Most patients recover within a few days. You should rest on the day of the procedure, avoid strenuous activities, and eat soft foods. Normal healing of the gum tissue takes about 1-2 weeks, while the bone underneath heals over a few months.

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

No, you will not feel pain during the procedure. We use strong local anesthetics to completely numb the area. For extra comfort, we also offer dental sedation options. Any post-procedure soreness can be managed easily with standard over-the-counter pain relievers.

What is socket preservation, and do I need it?

Socket preservation involves placing a bone graft into the extraction site immediately after the tooth is removed. This prevents the jawbone from shrinking and collapsing, which is critical if you plan to get a dental implant to replace the tooth in the future.

Can I get a dental implant on the same day as my extraction?

In many cases, yes! This is called an immediate implant. If you have healthy jawbone density and no active infection, Dr. Sikka can place the implant post immediately after extracting the tooth, saving you time and reducing the number of procedures.

Are extractions covered by my PPO insurance?

Most PPO dental insurance plans cover 50% to 80% of a necessary tooth extraction. During your visit, our team will verify your benefits and give you an upfront, detailed breakdown of all costs and coverage before we begin.

What financing options are available if I don't have insurance?

We offer flexible payment plans through Cherry and CareCredit. The application process is quick and simple, offering options like 0% interest promotional financing to help you fit care into your monthly budget.
