Our gentle-handed dentists are experienced at performing routine extractions when a tooth is no longer functional.

Before any extraction, we will investigate all the options available to restore your tooth.

Why Might I Need a Tooth Extracted?

Physical trauma like a blow to the face can damage a tooth beyond the point of repair. This, as well as severe decay that has infected a tooth, is a reason why we will deem an extraction to be the most suitable course of action to protect the future well-being of your oral health.

We also perform wisdom tooth removal for patients with infected wisdom teeth that do not improve with antibiotics and the removal of teeth that are crowding a patient’s mouth.

FAQs

What Can I Expect From The Tooth Extraction Procedure?

Tooth extractions can provoke feelings of anxiety in patients, particularly those with dental phobia. Please be assured that our dentists are highly skilled at performing this procedure with a huge degree of care, and an anaesthetic is administered before treatment to ensure your comfort. Our dentists will monitor you carefully throughout the procedure to ensure you are at ease and will stop at any time should you need a break.

The tooth is carefully dislodged and removed. Stitches may be needed to aid the healing of the tooth. Gauze may also be applied.

What Can I Expect After a Tooth Extraction?

We run through aftercare instructions with you and provide a written copy of these for you to take home.

You may begin to experience some pain as the anaesthesia wears; this should be controllable with anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen, or paracetamol. We recommend sticking to a restful schedule in the 24 hours after the extraction.

Once you have made a full recovery, we can invite tooth replacement with options such as dental implants, a dental bridge, or dentures.
