Benefits ofTooth Removal

There are several alternative treatments that may be considered before removing a tooth, including:
01.
Root canal therapyThis can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
02.
Dental crownA 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.
03.
Dental implantA dental implant is a small, screw-like device that is placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth.

ReplacingMissing 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.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, 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.

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.

The cost varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and whether it is a simple or surgical procedure. It’s best to contact W & B Dental for a price estimate based on your needs.
