Tooth Extraction
Gentle Tooth Extraction to Relieve Your Tooth Troubles
Reasons Why Our Dentist May Recommend a Tooth Removal
There are several instances when our dentists may recommend a tooth extraction based on your specific dental needs. These include:
- When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a root canal treatment, extraction can prevent further complications.
- When the wisdom teeth do not have enough space to emerge properly, they can become impacted, leading to pain and potential oral health issues necessitating extraction.
- In cases where there is not enough space in the mouth to accommodate all the teeth, tooth extraction might be required to create room and facilitate orthodontic treatment.
- If a tooth develops a severe infection or abscess, removing it can prevent the spread of infection to neighbouring teeth.
- Advanced gum disease can cause teeth to loosen, and in some cases, extraction may be necessary to preserve the overall health of the mouth.
- Teeth that are severely fractured or broken beyond repair may need to be extracted to prevent pain and potential infection.
- For patients receiving partial or complete dentures, tooth extraction might be necessary to create a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth.

Our Tooth Extraction Procedure
We understand that the prospect of a tooth extraction can be daunting. Rest assured, we will maintain our gentle approach and strive to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
- During your first visit, our dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your oral health. We’ll discuss the reasons for the potential extraction and take any necessary X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition and its surrounding structures.
- Based on the evaluation, we will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. If tooth extraction is deemed necessary, we will explain the procedure in detail and address any concerns you may have.
- On the day of the extraction, our team will make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. Local anaesthesia will be administered to numb the area around the tooth.
- Once the extraction site is numb, our dentist will carefully and gently remove the affected tooth. We employ precise techniques to minimise discomfort and reduce the time required for the extraction.
- After the tooth is successfully removed, we will provide you with detailed instructions on post-extraction care for a smooth and speedy recovery.
- If the extracted tooth requires replacement, our team will discuss suitable options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile and oral functionality.
Throughout the tooth extraction procedure, we focus on your well-being and strive to create a relaxed and supportive environment. Our dental team is always available to listen to your concerns and provide the highest standard of care possible.
