WHEN IS A TOOTH EXTRACTION NECESSARY?

Tooth extractions are typically recommended when:

  • A tooth is severely decayed or damaged beyond repair
  • There is significant crowding, often in preparation for orthodontic treatment
  • A wisdom tooth is impacted or causing pain and complications
  • Gum disease has weakened the tooth and its supporting structures
  • An infection poses a risk to your overall health and cannot be resolved with other treatments

Your clinician will discuss this in detail with you so you can be sure that the chosen treatment is the best one for you.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A TOOTH EXTRACTION?

Our experienced dentists use advanced techniques and local anaesthetic to numb the area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

For more complex cases, such as wisdom tooth removal, we also offer additional sedation options to help you feel relaxed and at ease during the process.

After the tooth is carefully removed, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to support the healing process and reduce discomfort.
