Tooth Extractions

A tooth extraction is sometimes the best option when a tooth is too damaged to repair. Common reasons for extractions include severe decay, gum disease, broken teeth, abscesses, or overcrowding. Your dentist will assess your condition with an x-ray and determine the best course of action.

Tooth Extractions

Comfortable and Painless Tooth Removal with Local Anaesthetic

The procedure typically involves local anaesthetic to block pain, and you may feel some pressure as the tooth is removed. In more complex cases, an oral surgeon may perform the extraction, particularly for impacted wisdom teeth. Aftercare is essential to ensure proper healing, and most patients can resume normal activities the same day, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

Why would I need a tooth extraction?

Tooth extractions are recommended for severe decay, advanced gum disease, broken teeth, abscesses, overcrowding, or impacted wisdom teeth. Your dentist will guide you on whether extraction is the best option.

Is tooth extraction painful?

No, tooth extraction is performed under local anaesthetic, which numbs the area around the tooth. You will feel some pressure, but there should be no pain. If needed, sedation can be used to ease anxiety.

How long does recovery take after a tooth extraction?

Most patients can return to normal activities the same day or the day after the extraction. However, for complex surgical extractions, recovery may take a few days. Follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions to ensure smooth healing.

Can I eat after a tooth extraction?

You should wait until the numbness wears off before eating to avoid biting your tongue or cheek. Start with soft foods and avoid chewing near the extraction site.
