Tooth Removal
Do you need a tooth removed?
Our clinicians have undergone extensive post-graduate training and are comfortable removing challenging teeth that perhaps your own dentist may not be able to. Whether it is a broken tooth, wisdom teeth, baby teeth or teeth requiring removal for orthodontic reasons, our team will look after you and ensure that you are comfortable throughout the entire procedure.
Other Treatment Options
There are several alternative treatments that may be considered before removing a tooth, including:
Root canal therapy
This can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Dental crown
A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. A crown can help save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Dental implant
A dental implant is a small, screw-like device that is placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth.
Replacing Missing Teeth
It is important to note that the best alternative treatment for a specific case depends on the condition of the tooth and the overall oral health of the individual. Our dental experts will be able to advise the best option after your examination.
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. You may feel some pressure, but no pain. After the extraction, some soreness is expected, which can be managed with pain relief and aftercare guidance from your dentist.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Most patients recover within a few days, with initial healing taking around 1-2 weeks. Following aftercare instructions, such as avoiding hard foods and not smoking, helps ensure a smooth recovery.
